RedHat Enterprise on Virtual PC Graphics Problem

there is a distorted graphics problem if you are Red Hat Enterprise 5 Edition on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 running on Windows 7(I am using the Professional Edition)

you need to modify the X Server configuration file and change the default display depth to 16 bits

most Linux distributions support 24 bit colour,
which MVPC doesn't support(only 16 bit colours)

ALT + F2
type gnome-terminal ans press RUN
[root@localhost ~]#ls -ltr /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[root@localhost ~]#vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

change the following..

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
EndSubSection
EndSection

Windows command prompt - cmd.exe

The situation:

I use the command prompt in Windows and was wanting to save my history. After searching the internet I never did find a way to save my history between sessions, but I came across some hints and tips that were useful. So I am posting any tips I already knew along with those I came across. Links to sites that I gathered info from are at the bottom of the post.

Here are the settings I change for the command prompt. What's nice is that the changes will be remembered once you have set them if you want them to. You get at these settings by right clicking on the title bar and choosing "Properties"
======================================

Options > Command History > Buffer Size > 100
Options > Command History > Number of Buffers > 4
Options > Command History > Discard Old Duplicates > Checked

Hints and tips
============================================

1. "Up Arrow" key will take you back through the command history
2. "Down Arrow" key will take you forward in the command history
3. The "Tab" key will auto-fill a directory or file name for you
4. Put quotes around paths with spaces in them
5. Left-click and drag to highlight text and then right-click to copy
6. Right-click to paste copied text
   

Function keys
============================================
ESC - Clear the command line
F1 - Enters the last command one character at a time
F2 - PopUp "Enter char to copy up to:"
F3 - Re-types the last command in history
F4 - PopUp "Enter char to delete up to:"
F5 - Moves back in history one line at a time. (Remembers where it's been)
F6 - Types "^Z" to the command line
F7 - PopUp of command history in a numbered list
