Red Hat linux has its bad management

Moving stuff around andf making folks sgn up to different services to get software that otherwise was freely available on other linux platforms.

In this case my problem was loading the standard XWindows development library. It would not load, so I look over the web and we have a ton of complaints thared hat X developers cannot get the basic system up and running.  Unless, they sign up for a work station subscription.

Marketing does not kow what they do.

When using Ubuntu I feared thge upgrade, but as forced into it and sure enough they removed the serial mouse giving me an extra days work.  Marketing does this, purposefully make something not work.

But, otherwise it is an improvement over windows.

Here is the Red Hat Solution

However, it would be more efficient for you to add the channel PixelDrift mentioned above. You can use the web interface either through your Satellite Server (or access.redhat.com, see below), if you are using a Satellite server, see Paragraph 4.2.1.4.
If you are using the Customer Portal (and no satellite server) go through the Subscription/systems area of the Customer Portal,
Here are the instructions for adding channels at the Red Hat Portal access.redhat.com using an account with at minimum the Organizational Administrator role assigned

The user solutionb was to get a ifferent linux system


Since last week, I installed CentOS 6.5 and experienced none of these problems as:
yum install xorg-x11-server-devel
works out of the box.

Standard result.  Marketing thinks they have you in some kind of trap, so they waste your time until you pay up. Developers are too smart, they get the scam and move on to the better system.
