Operating Systems Linux Red Hat RHEL5 tools/apps not from RHN Post 302328608 by biorhythm on Wednesday 24th of June 2009 06:08:14 PM

Question RHEL5 tools/apps not from RHN
Hi, I'm new to the concept of paying for linux, as such I'm not sure what packages I can compile/install while maintaining system integrity in RHEL 5.x.x?

Can someone inform me if installing programs, for example 'irssi', that are not available from RHN will adversely affect the system/package integrity that redhat maintains (and charges highly for)?

Thanks in advance.
