Well, as far as Item 3 is concerned, I had the same problem a while ago until someone pointed me to GKRellm. It has the network traffic "Lights" and a TON of other helpful monitoring tools..
Give that a try... As far as your other issues... I, along with some of the others that have responded have said, feel your pain too. I'm some what of a n00b with Linux, but I'll tell you what... Its still Linux and it is yours to customize and modify. I wont use 8.0 on ANY of my servers and still use 7.3. I have been forced to investigate and fix allot of problems with 8.0 and it has made me a stronger Linux admin due to learning and fixing different areas of RH 8.0. Anyway, good luck with your endeavors... Joe On Sun, 2003-03-16 at 18:28, Colburn wrote: > Thousands of patches and kludges later RH8 is functional but well behind > the curve.
