How are you trying to "activate it?" When you reboot, you should see a line Starting eth0 during the section where all the daemons start (charactarized by all the green OK's you see). Do you see eth0 starting OK? or FAILED? Let us know. Also give us some idea of what kinda system you're running.

While I would agree with what most have been saying, namely that RH can do whatever they damn well pleases, I don't necessarily like the trend. Caldera has consistently alienated the Linux community starting with tactics much like this. I used Caldera back in the day and loved it. But they didn't s

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. IF you are asking how to share files on a Linux machine with a Windows machine, the answer is install Samba. Of course, you can also ssh to Linux with a client like PuTTY or simply telnet if you have a telnet server running on your Linux box (though SSH is

Partitioning can be a subjective thing since it depends, in part, on what you intend to do with the machine. If, for instance, you intend to have a sizable user base, then you want to have plenty of /home space. Regardless, most people new to Linux make the mistake of not making /usr and /var large

I can't answer all of these, but: Your default runlevel is set in /etc/inittab. Look for a line like this: id:5:initdefault: I'm on a laptop that boots to X so my runlevel is 5 signified by the id:5 in the line above. If you want to boot to runlevel 3, let's say, then you would simply change the 5

That's an open-ended question. Do you want all PC's on the network to go out to the Internet or just share files and resources internally?

As everyone has said, it will no longer do anything. However, if you're on a client machine, it may not be a problem. Using KMail or Evolution, you likely point to another SMTP server on your network to send your mail anyway. System emails to root and such, however, would be dead. <> On Fri, 2003
