Changes to Red Hat Linux distribution 6.2
The Linux version installed on the appliance is based on a "Server" installation of
Red Hat Linux 6.2. The Red Hat installer defines several groups of RPMs (RPM
Package Manager) that may be installed when a "Server" installation is selected.
The groups that are not needed for the appliance are removed:
•
Printer Support
•
Dialup Workstation
•
Network Server
•
NFS Server
•
SMB (Samba) Server
•
IPX*/Netware* Connectivity
•
Anonymous FTP Server (This has been replaced with Intel's FTP service,
based on wu-ftpd.
•
Web Server (This has been replaced with Intel's custom version of Apache
which includes PHP, and SSL support.)
•
DNS Name Server
•
Postgres (SQL) Server
•
Network Management Workstation
Modifications have also been made to several installed RPMs that provide base
functionality:

The kernel was updated from version 2.2.14 to 2.2.16. The kernel was
also patched to enable graceful shutdown of the operating system from
the power button.
•
The Red Hat-release RPM was replaced with Intel's NetStructure-release
RPM. This replaces the default Red Hat login prompt with Intel's.
