Getting started with the RHEL 5.9 ZipKit
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a Linux-based operating system developed by Red Hat and targeted toward the commercial market. This operating system also provides NTP and TFTP services. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a mechanism to transfer files from one device to another. It is typically used by network administrator to copy configuration file, log file and firmware to/from networking devices.
