12.3 Managing your Linux guest through RHN<br />

You can also manage the packages on this Linux guest through the Web interface at:<br />

http://rhn.redhat.com/<br />

When you first log in to RHN, you see the system you registered under the Systems tab. If<br />

there is a red exclamation point next to your system, there are errata waiting to be applied.<br />

<strong>The</strong> number of relevant errata and the corresponding number of packages are visible to the<br />

left of the system name. Click the number beneath Errata or Packages to get a detailed list. If<br />

there is a blue check-mark, then the system is fully updated.<br />

can see the system properties as Figure 12-2 shows. Click the Packages tab to view all<br />

packages installed on this system. From this tab, you can also update, remove, or install new<br />

packages onto the system.<br />
