In answer to your questions, I am using RH 9.0 I am, unfortunately, the only who is attempting to upgrade and maintain Linux. I know how to follow instructions to install with rpm. My problem is 1) I don't what rpm's to run for apache upgrade and 2) if I don't know what rpm upgrade does, if it'll remove the older version of apache and take care of everything else. I know apache is a very integrated important part of RH so I don't want to jump into the unknown territory any more than I have to. > PLEEEEEASE upgrade the box will all the errata. I'm trying to, first I have to gain some confidence with my spanking new operating system, hopefully with a little help from more knowledgeable people such as yourself. thanks Leila > On Mon, 2003-09-29 at 18:25, damovand wrote: > > I am new to Linux, from an XP background, so please help if you can.
