Title: Red Hat 9.0
Post by: Michael Hunt on April 14, 2003, 08:47:50 AM

I thought Red Hat Linux was a \"pay for\" operating system. I also thought that the newest version was 8.0. Could some please help me out here.

ok, Linux is a free OS. you can download and use for free Redhat 9.0 (which is the latest version). If you want support and updates for Redhat, then you pay for that service.

What does the screen look like?  Is it in text-mode?  If so then try typing "root" for the login, then type the password you chose.
