All major Linux distributions include a lot of free software applicationsand libraries, which turn Linux into a powerful desktop or server.
Red Hat in particular has done a great job in including numerous applications and libraries which work right out of the box, without much tweaking required.
This is a screenshot tour of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0.
Enjoy!
Terminal Server Client
Terminal Server Client for connecting to Windows Servers
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 comes with a free Terminal Server Client available from the GnomePro site, which lets you connect to an MS Windows Terminal Server. In addition to supporting multiple resolution and full screen mode, it supports multiple protocols like RDP, RDPv5, VNC, XDMP, and ICA. The Terminal Server Client is a front end for rdesktop.
Citrix Client 8.0 for Linux
Citrix Client 8.0 for Linux
Citrix Client 8.0 is another free client that allows Linux users to connect to Citrix Sessions. The client installed smoothly on the default install on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0. However, it was not able to read proxy settings from Firefox. So I had to launch Mozilla once, which created the settings file ~/.mozilla. After that, Citrix Client 8.0 worked flawlessly, and I was able to connect to a Citrix Metaframe 3.0 Presentation Server.
CD and DVD burning application – K3b
K3b – CD & DVD burner
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 came with K3b, which is a CD and DVD burning application. It required no configuration, and was able to detect CD Writer without any issues. On the default install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, K3b is available under Applications Sound & Video -> K3b
Accessing network storage
The default server options
When it comes to accessing files from network storage, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 offers a multitude of selections, including SSH, Public FTP, FTP, Windows, WebDAV and Secure WebDAV. All of these options come with the default install on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0.

Vote!My encounter with RED HAT
It all began with Red Hat Linux version 8. After getting 22 copies of corrupt Red Hat 8 CDs (copied) that were not working, I never gave up. Luckily the 23rd finally worked and the journey of Red Hat was something I enjoyed very much with books with each version up to 9.
Come Fedora I went upto the Core 4 and got fed up and turned to SuSe (their public relationship is better than Red Hat).
Today I am going to the city (Kandy) to get a copy of Red Hat Version 3 (DVD version)from one of my friends to try it.
My question is why the Red Hat Enterprise is not working on a book with a Editors Copy for poeple (poor) like me to obtain the same from a local bookshop (who had to wait for years to get a enterprise version)?

Vote!May I suggest trying out CentOS 4.4? It is the latest offering (as of September 2006) from the folks at CentOS and it is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. They maintain their offering of Linux as being binary compatible with RHEL, but are free of charge. Mostly they only remove the copyrighted images, etc. from RHEL. You can download their ISO images freely by starting at -- http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13
