linux is an operating system just as windows is an operating system. the difference being a variety of stuff including the ability to actually see the code that does the stuff that you see on your screen. linux is more secure and far more stable. while windows has the nice bonus that 90% of the world knows how to use it.
if you're getting "redhat user management" stuff appearing everywhere on your computer my guess would be one of two things: a) there's some sort of network problem. if you're in an office or on some sort of network, then you should talk to the person in charge of that network. (s)he's probably messed up something and may not even know. if you're @home, it could be an issue w/ your internet service provider. call 'em up and find out what's goin' on. b) internet explorer may be broken (see the above note about windows vs. linux reliability, stability and security). try downloading netscape (www.netscape.com) or opera (www.operasoftware.com) or mozilla (www.mozilla.org) and see if they work. if they do, your copy of explorer is broken and you'll have to reinstall. ...might i suggest that you pick up a copy of redhat and try that out? good luck. -- without law or compulsion, men would dwell in harmony - lau tzu, "tao te ching: chapter xxxii" On February 25, 2003 10:34 pm, Char C. wrote: > I wasn't sure who else to send this problem to, and this was the only > logical support I found on the website. > > I am a typical computer user - I have never used, perchased, or even heard > of Linux, until one day I opened my Internet Explorer and there was an > error saying the page could not be found. > > I checked all my internet connections and tried again - same response.
