Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Get latest update for RHEL systems Post 302883501 by Perderabo on Tuesday 14th of January 2014 03:52:53 PM

RedHat has told us that any RedHat systems must be licensed. You can't get RedHat rpms legally without a license. If you have a license but no account talk to your rep and get an account.

If you have hundreds of licensed systems you might not want each one downloading rpm's directly from RedHat. So you put a satellite server on your lan and each system gets rpms from the satellite server. The satellite server has other features to help manage a collection of systems. We didn't like satellite so we dropped it. We download rpms from RedHat and just create our owb NFS based repositories.

There are distros that take RedHat source code (freely available) and create linux systems that are super close to RedHat (like CentOS and Yellow Dog) but without the fees.

NAME
predict-g1yyh - satellite tracking program DESCRIPTION
The predict-g1yyh program is a variant on the predict satellite tracking program that includes patches from John Heaton, G1YYH, that add new functionality. This man page documents only the features that differ between predict and predict-g1yyh. See the predict man page for information on the features of the program that are not described here! The user may step forwards/backwards through the satellites in the Single-Sat display using the '+' and '-' keys, and may remove blank entries from the Selector page. MultiSat has been reformatted to display upcoming passes below the satellites in view. Using the 'i' and 'k' keys you can toggle between distances in Imperial or Kilometres. Using the 'l' and 'm' keys you can toggle between displaying the normal latitude/longitude or Maiden- head locators for the sub-satellite location. The SingleSat display allows use of the arrow keys to change the frequency up/down and to move to the next/previous satellite using left/right arrows. A new method of selecting satellites is implemented. Instead of pressing a character next to a satellite name, a scrolling menu is pro- vided. This means that the program is now capable of handling a much larget list of satellites, currently a maximum of 250. Finally, the height of the terminal window containing predict can be increased dynamically if you want to display more information than will fit on an 80x24 terminal window! SEE ALSO
