I couldn't help but take notice at some of the responses that were coming in from when I was posting questions due to my ignorance of Linux. Some people were quick to help, some advanced users I am sure ignored me because im not worth their time, and then some other users tried to help but was unable to dumb their speech down to newb levels. However I am thankful that there is people here to

Ok guys a quick newb question. I have been reading up on the Red Hat Enterprise 4 for dummies book along with installing and playing with the configurations of Cent OS 4. I have yet been able to find any information on how to find out what your IP address is. I have it set to use DHCP from our Windows server and I looked under the network card configuration settings but can not find any command or

Thanks for the help guys. To resize my screen I had to go through the GUI part and change it but unlike Microsoft it makes me reboot in order for it to take affect which sucks. The Ctrl Alt +/- does not work. As for adding a printer someone finally gave me the link to the correct document which showed how to do it. I received a link where you can download the CentOS manual in PDF format:

I am trying to figure out how permissions work in Linux. In windows if I want someone to have access to something you put their name in a group then give that group access to that folder. However things can get difficult when you have an office with a folder structure like this: Taxoffice--->Names---> Private. Everyone in the group would need access to the Taxoffice folder and names folder

I installed Suns Java but I don't know how to find where it installed to. Can someone tell me how to find it?

Any clue what to do now? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I guess my CentOS is screwed up because that function doesn't work.

As for using logout command it didn't work that's why I got puzzled and had to ask online since I couldn't find the GUI one which was there but apparently im too blind to see. Speaking of GUI side of things that's why I made the comment about no search features in CentOS. None of my menus offer a search feature in the GUI so I would have to

Can anyone suggest a good open source/free backup software that works on CentOS? I was reading through the manuals on how to back things up and it said do 1 of 2 things.

BTW I am newb so easier the software the better.
