7.4. Registering a System Profile
Now that you have a user account, you can create a System Profile that consists of hardware and
software information about your Red Hat Linux system. The software System Profile information is
used by Red Hat Network to determine what software update notifications you receive.
7.4.1. Hardware System Profile
After creating a username and password for your Red Hat Network account, the
Red Hat Network
Registration Client
probes your system for the following information:
•
Red Hat Linux version
•
Hostname
•
IP address
•
CPU model
•
CPU speed
•
Amount of RAM
•
PCI devices
•
Disk sizes
•
Mount points
The next step is choosing a profile name for your system as shown in Figure 7-8. The default value
is the hostname for the system. You may modify this to be a more descriptive string, such as
Server for Support Team
, if you find it more helpful. Optionally, you can enter a computer
serial or identification number for the system.
If you do not wish to include information about your hardware or network in your System Profile,
deselect
Include information about hardware and network
(see Figure 7-8).
Click
Next
to continue with the registration process.
