Well Its Redhat. A variety of Fedora core the trouble is it is in the
States and the provider has just changed their website and I can't find
the bit where it said which fedora core.

Does anyone know how to work out what distro is in use?

I take your point Telsa. I've been there and done that!.
The problem is something is missing and I don't have installation disks.
Maybe it is time for a visit to the linux emporium :-)

See everyone tonight at Cardiff. It does look as if I can make it now
and I will hopefully talking about SEO and Google.
