2.5.1 Workstation-Class Installations
Most suitable for new users, the workstation-class installation will install your choice of the GNOME
or KDE desktop environments, or both, and the X Window System.
A workstation-class installation will erase all information in all Linux-
related hardfile (disk) partitions assigned to that Linux Logical partition.
Refer to Appendix C, Re-installation of Red Hat Linux and Preserving
Existing Data for options that will allow you to save existing data on your
system.
Below are the minimum recommended disk space requirements for a workstation-class installation.
• Workstation choosing GNOME: 1.2 GB
• Workstation choosing KDE: 1.2 GB
• Workstation choosing both GNOME and KDE, and games: 1.5 GB
If you plan to choose all group packages (for example, GNOME is a group of packages), as well as
select additional individual packages, you may want to allow yourself 1.5 GB or more of disk space.
If you provide this extra space, you will have room for additional data, if needed.
Unlike workstation-class installations previous to Red Hat Linux 7.0, per-
forming a Red Hat Linux 7.1 workstation-class installation will not install
the network daemon xinetd (inet services). When xinetd is not installed,
you will have a more secure installation. However,in-bound network-related
services such as finger, telnet, talk, and FTP will not work.
these types of services, please go back and choose a server- or a custom-class
installation.
1 For example, you can telnet out to other systems, but other systems cannot telnet in to your system.
