Free red hat society software for linux

Red Hat Linux is probably the best-known Linux distribution. Red Hat Linux is well-supported by commercial software, and tends to be easy to install and have good hardware support out of the box.

Compaq has taken over the maintenance for Red Hat for their Alpha processor - theres a link to their Alpha Red Hat page below.

Red Hat 9 is the last version of Red Hat Linux per se, and Red Hat will stop supporting it soon. Instead they offer a commercial Linux distribution, "Red Hat Enterprise Edition", and a free distribution, "The Fedora Project".

Red Carpet is a software management tool for RPM-based Linux distros.

Red Carpet is a suite of applications that allows easy installation and update of software on Linux systems. Red Carpet project features both command-line and graphical GNOME interfaces.

These days Red Carpet is part of the Novell ZenWorks solution.

Using
To use Red-Piranha - open your favourite web browser and point it at http://localhost:8080/RP . Within a few seconds , you should see the Red-Piranha start screen. This will have three items of interest
- A Text box , where we enter the information to add or search
- An add information button - to tell Red-Piranha about new information
- A Search button - to carry out a search.
Before we can search , we must tell Red-Piranha we information we are interested in. This is as easy as putting the piece of information we want to add (e.g. the folder c:temp) in the search box and pressing the Add information button. A message will be displayed saying that your information is being added and will be available to search shortly. For more information , look in the logs at TOMCAT_HOMEWebappsRPlogsrp.log
Examples of things we can add to Red-Piranha are
- A folder (e.g. C:Temp). All files in both this folder and *all* its subfolders will be added.
- An individual file. This file can be text , a web page , a word document , or pdf document. For binary files (like word , which are not plain text) , Red-Piranha will scan the file for recognizable text and add that.
- A Web page. Red-Piranha will add this web page , *and* web pages it links to.
- A Google Search (e.g. http://www.google.com/search?q=some+thing?m=100). Red-Piranha will get the results of the google search , and add information on the pages it links to.
- An XML file (including RSS feeds) , either on disk or over the web.
- Favourites / Bookmarks folders - Red-Piranha will index the web pages that these favourites point to.
Adding information can take anything from a few milliseconds , depending on the amount of information being added. Once added, Red-Piranha will check on a regular basis to see if the information added has changed and re-index if required. Your information is now available to be searched.
To do a search , put the item you want to search for into the textbox and press search. Red-Piranha will show the search results on the screen. Clicking on the link beside the search results will show you the original information (as long as you have access to it).
From version 0.3 onwards , Red-Piranha can learn what search results you are interested in an improve your future searches. To give Red-Piranha feedback and help it learn what you are interested in , click on any of the links on the search results page. Red-Piranha makes a note of your choice , which is used to adjust the search results later.

GResolver is a graphical DNS query tool. GResolver project allows system administrators to quickly and easily make the most common DNS queries without constructing lengthy dig commands.
GResolver supports all the main resource record types, including AAAA, AXFR, MX and TXT, and the appropriate in-addr.arpa address is constructed from dotted-quad IP addresses when doing PTR queries. There are checkboxes for controlling the most commonly-used options.
GResolver requires Gtk2-Perl, Locale::gettext and Net::IPv6Addr from CPAN, and the dig program from BIND (its in the bind-utils package on Red Hat/Mandrake/Fedora, dnsutils on Debian and the bind-tools package on Gentoo).
Enhancements:

Beyond the Red Line project is a stand-alone total conversion for the award-winning Freespace 2 released by Volition and Interplay for the PC. It is based on the popular new tv-show Battlestar Galactica. No, not the one from the 70s.
Will I need Freespace 2 to play it?
No, Beyond the Red Line is a stand-alone conversion and will not require Freespace 2. All you need for playing will be included in the download.
Is it free?
Absolutely. The game is made by fans for the fans, no profit is being made from any part of the project. Although we could use some pizzas and coke to keep our mortal bodies running.
That about covers it... a BSG total conversion of FS2 that has just released a demo version. it plays really well and looks amazing. a must for any BSG fan.
Enhancements:
- This demo contains spoilers for the second season of BSG, so if you havent seen that season yet you should pass on this game for now.

Fedora Core is now available from Red Hat and at distinguished mirror sites near you, and is also available in the torrent.
Fedora Core has expanded in this release to four binary ISO images and four source ISO images, and is available for both x86-64 and i386 and also PPC machines.
The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products. It is not a supported product of Red Hat, Inc.
The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from free software. Development will be done in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year with a public release schedule.
The Red Hat engineering team will continue to participate in the building of Fedora Core and will invite and encourage more outside participation than was possible in Red Hat Linux.
By using this more open process, we hope to provide an operating system that uses free software development practices and is more appealing to the open source community.
Main features:
- KDE 3.5.4
- GNOME 2.16
- OpenOffice 2.0.4
- Kernel 2.6.17
- Xen
- ...and many more
