1.3 Miscellaneous New Features

These new features defy categorization:

Window Maker window manager included
Apache 1.3 included
GIMP 1.0.1 included

1.3.1 Window Maker Included

The popular Window Maker window manager is now included with Red Hat Linux 5.2. If you're interested in using Window Maker, run the script /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker.inst (you should just be able to type wmaker.inst). When asked for the name of the script to be updated, simply press [Enter]. The script will create the necessary files in your login directory. Then, make sure the new script file is executable by using this command:

chmod +x .xinitrc

Now, the next time you start X, you'll be running Window Maker.

1.3.2 Apache 1.3 Included

Version 1.3 of the popular Apache web server software is included with Red Hat Linux 5.2.

1.3.3 GIMP 1.0.1 Included

Version 1.0.1 of the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP to its friends) is included with Red Hat Linux 5.2.
