[Spacewalk-list] New to Spacewalk and Linux

[William Hongach]

Welcome,

I cannot answer any specifics regarding Oracle Linux as I do not have that distribution in our Spacewalk environment, but here is a link to the Spacewalk user documentation which you may find useful regarding its features:

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] New to Spacewalk and Linux

Hello,

I apologize for being a newb but I've been tasked to setup a Linux patching system and Spacewalk seemed like a solution I could manage. I'm a fairly green Linux admin and am not an expert on Linux systems.

Our environment consists of Oracle Enterprise Linux systems. I setup spacewalk 2.9 on a fresh install of Oracle Enterprise Linux UEK. And used the directions from this page https://oracle-base.com/articles/linux/spacewalk-installation-on-oracle-linux#server-prerequisites

Now that I have a GUI I have many questions about what the options mean on the pages etc. Is there anything that can explain what these options are in specifics? Also I guess I'm wondering if this is going to work with our environment since we use Oracle Enterprise Linux UEK...... Or do I need to revert to using Ksplice?

Thank you for any help!
