7. GPG KEYID and fingerprint
Who?


I am just a guy that bought a book with an RHL9 CD. 
It installed just like Windows - a piece of cake. It looks like Windows. 
It cost next to nothing. But it acts as a server! Wow!
I use it for my classes. The server still seems to run fine. 
At first I could press a button and download things, such as php, 
from the RH site, sort of like Windows Update (I use win2k). 
There have been some essential patches from Windows Update, 
to stop really nasty viri. I am here in the hope that I will be able read 
messages saying things like 

"RH9 has been breached. Download this patch now!"

But since the "End of life" I have downloaded nothing. 
And I am still not sure what "yum" or "apt" is but I think that they
are needed for downloading patches. 

It all looks too complicated. I am thinking of moving to
mandrake or whitebox or something, but my RH9 box still 
seems to work fine.
