Red Hat Linux provides a collection of internet programs as part of its standard installation. The number of internet applications available after installing Linux will depend on which distribution of Linux you use. In the case of Red Hat Linux, you will find at least a couple of CDs containing additional programs — many of which will be internet-related. Using your internet connection, you will find an immense number of Linux applications available on the internet.

The internet programs immediately available with GNOME in this particular version of Red Hat Linux can all be accessed directly from the GNOME panel. The small selection here includes various newsreaders, mail clients, and Lynx, which is a text-based web browser.

One program is called Xchat.  This is a no-frill Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client available with the GNOME desktop in Red Hat Linux. Many more feature-laden IRC clients and graphical chat programs are now available for use with Linux than there used to be. A search through the Linux section of software websites, such as www.tucows.com, will reveal many examples.

Another is FTP (file transfer protocol) clients which provide a means of logging on to a remote site from your PC and transferring files to or from the sites- provided, of course, that you have the appropriate access privileges required by the site.

Most anonymous FTP sites simply require your email address for permission to browse and download. This simple FTP client makes the process easy to grasp and execute.

Finally, be aware that virtually limitless Linux software is available online. The Tucows software site carries a huge selection of software from every platform you can imagine. The Linux area is regularly updated, well-organized and definitely worth a visit. As well as the extensive download library, Tucows also provides a “Head of the Herd” feature, which reviews a piece of leading-edge software. The site also surveys new releases, lists top selections, has a news and editorial section, and provides a help center.
