StupidIntel Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I hope someone on here can help me, I've tried websites and people I know... Anyway... I just installed Red Had 9 and I am a complete noob. After I log in I get the error: "Could not look up internet address for localhost. ... Tt may be possible to correct the problem by adding local host to file /etc/hosts." My question is what do I put as my local host and what do I do to change it?

Rain Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 So how is Linux? I've never actually seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rf_ucsd Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 FYI, Google also has a search engine which scans usenet posts ... that's always help on such issues. My knowledge of Linuz intallation would not have been of use. I've only installed Red Hat on a couple of systems and it went smoothly each time.

StupidIntel Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 So how is Linux? I've never actually seen it. Pretty niffty, opening files and what not is a bit slower than 98 (my only other experience), but then again that could be because I did a dual boot and what not...and I'm still getting an error that I can't figure out, might be causing it. Mozilla loads a bit faster than IE, and when you're using dial up like me that's really important. It's really different that's for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're using dialup and a Windows system and are concerned about the speed of load I would suggest using Opera as your web browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidIntel Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 You wouldn't happen to know of an instant messenger client that would let me use my webcam for linux?

rf_ucsd Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 i'd be surprised if Microsoft developed messanger for anything but Windows, but it's not my area of expertize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
