    log in as root with your password
    then run linuxconf, users add/remove as needed.

    I have a AMD K6 233mhz with 80 megs of ram running Redhat 7.1. I also have a hard time with the rpm's because you download one and it says you have to have two more. It feels like you are going in circles. I am still a newbie at Linux, but learning fast. I want to try Mandrake, being on dialup kills that idea for downloading it. Hopefully the cable company will hurry up with the broadband.

    I have an older Aptiva box (K6-2 500Mhz/128M RAM) that is running Corel Linux that I use as a Samba file-server and as an HL Counterstrike Server for LAN games at home. Runs like a dream, but it just takes more time to figure stuff out on it.
    Picked Corel Linux because the install was real easy!

    Cool

    I forgot to mention that my Firewall box running slackware linux is also a 233mmx and I have it o/c to 292mhz! The uptime is 103 days now!~

    2.4.x kernel.

    It's sweet!
