Anyone know where I can download a copy of the Redhat 7.2 ISO's? I can't seems to find them and need them desperately.

Found it:

http://redhat.pacific.net.au/redhat/linux/7.2/en/iso/

But why this pretty old version? Why not fedora or redhat enterprise?

edit: Heh, you beat me to it wfaulk, and i even looked at linuxiso.org too, and completly missed the redhat download

Thanks guys.... Apparently I had a little hardware issue and several vital files were trashed, inclusing cp, ls, bash, etc... and am trying to recover the system.

Speaking of which, can linux do a sfc-sytle check? or do I have to do this by hand?

from http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/rpm-do.html

RPM is a very useful tool and, as you can see, has several options. The best way to make sense of them is to look at some examples. I covered simple install/uninstall above, so here are some more examples:

*

Let's say you delete some files by accident, but you aren't sure what you deleted. If you want to verify your entire system and see what might be missing, you would do:

rpm -Va

Ahhhh..... handy. Thanks. I finally figured out what happened. Somehow someone changed their password to something stupid and we were hacked. Whilst being hacked a linux virus was installed. Then when our virus scanner ran, it detected and oh so helpfully removed all the infected files. Of course, all the files that I use regularly were infected, like chmod, ls, bash, cp.

In light of this it was far easier to reinstall from scratch to make sure that everything is gone.

Thanks guys.

Yeah. Blowing it away and starting again will be a better bet. If you're doing so then you might want to try something like RHEL or CentOS if you don't require the support. They're the enterprise RedHat distributions which basically mean they'll issue patches for longer.

This is a good reason to disable password logins. SSH keys all the way
