Hi all,

I am attempting to install an application [Best Practical - Request Tracker] onto a Red Hat box.

The problem is that in order to choose what file to use and the steps to properly configure I need to know what version of RedHat, Linux, and other basic system information.

As you could probably have guessed by now, I've never dabbled in Linux before...but I figured I'd save the shocking news until the the climactic end of my post.

Reader's Digest: In Windows I right click the My Computer Icon and go to properties and get all sorts of wonderful information...how do I do this in RedHat Linux

You can get *some* info by using:

uname -a

Some further searching with the info that that gives you should then narrow it down.

cat /etc/redhat-release

may be useful too.

If you're using konqueror desktop environment (kde) then kinfocenter, kcontrol and ksysguard give some nice info too.

df -h

is always nice and quick to give mounted partition details and usage

then there's
cat /proc/meminfo
for lots more info about your memory.

Not sure if any of these will help in the particular task you're doing but they're good to get an overview of some stuff in general.
