I have RH and got it installed pretty easily.  I installed everything since this is a machine I have set up for learning Linux.  I have set up myself as a user and it appears that I have root user equivalence when using LINUXCONF.  If I try to run certain programs or run Find I get "Permission Denied" errors out the wazoo.  I even edited the /etc/group file in an attempt to put the root group after the login id with no success.
How do I modify the specific permissions each user will have?  After that, what can I use to set it up as an internet sharing device?  Any good tutorials on that?

Newbie To Linux

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
