A very nice Graphical Interface for telnet, ssh, rlogin to other machines which remember parameters for each machines like port, username and password. Have been using it for a while and like it much rather than typing on gnome-terminal
ssh username@machines
and don't a have a lists of machines which I want to remote.
gnome-telnet is available on fedora-extra repository. Make sure file /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extra.repo has enabled=1 option
To install it type:
yum -y install gnome-telnet

You can type this command as root: yum -y thunderbird
but since I already downloaded before to my server, so this is my command
mkdir -p /root/fcupdate/apps
cd /root/fcupdate/apps
wget http://10.10.105.105/software/fedora/ex ... 4.i386.rpm
yum -y localinstall thunderbird-1.0.7-1.1.fc4.i386.rpm
cd
Now Login as user and follow this step to make Thunderbird as your Default email client on Gnome
"Desktop" > "Preferences" >
"More Preferences" > "Preferred Applications"
and selecting "Thunderbird Mail" in the drop-down menu under the Mail Reader tab.
Or you can edit file /usr/share/applications/redhat-email.desktop as root
and replace the line
Exec=launchmail
with
Exec=thunderbird
To simplify setting the same configuration for most PCs I have put file redhat-email.desktop to server and create a script to update user's launcmail configuration. Below is the script:
#Script name: ic.thunderbird.sh
#Install and configure Thunderbird for default email client
#date 1 March 2006
#It should be run as root otherwise you get error
mkdir -p /root/fcupdate/apps
cd /root/fcupdate/apps
wget http://10.10.105.105/software/fedora/ex ... 4.i386.rpm
yum -y localinstall thunderbird-1.0.7-1.1.fc4.i386.rpm
wget http://10.10.105.105/software/fedora/ex ... il.desktop
cp --reply=yes redhat-email.desktop /usr/share/applications
cd
#done

My harddisk partition configuration Seagate SATA 200GB (Detected 180GB)
Partition 1 = /dev/sda1 = Windows XP Pro (C:)= 40GB = NTFS
Partition 2 = /dev/sda2 = Fedora Core 4 (/) = 30GB = Ext3FS
Partition 3 = /dev/sda3 = Fedora Core 4 home folder (/home) = 20GB = Ext3FS
Partition 4 = /dev/sda4 = Extended Partition
Partition 5 = /dev/sda5 = Data Partition (/data)(D:) = 20GB = Ext3FS (for exchanging files between linux/winxp)
Partition 6 = /dev/sda6 = Fedora Core 4 Swap (swap) = 2GB = swap
Partition 7 = /dev/sda7 = My Documents (E:) = 40GB = NTFS
Partition 8 = /dev/sda8 = My Files (F:) = 28GB = NTFS
I am not mounting my NTFS partition on FC4. Not because FC4 didn't provide kernel that can read NTFS (altough I can install it) but I just wan't to separate "the world" of FC4 and WinXP
Below is detailed infomartion:
