[PLUG] New Linux Install

[Russell Evans]

The fact that you got the eth0 information is good. It means the board is up
and ready to receive an IP. The next issue is to make sure you DHCP client is
looking for a lease. 

I don't have a Redhat system or I would post the output of ps ax. dhcpcd,
dhclient, pump or something else, might be your client. Maybe some RedHat user
could post what the default DHCP client is and the output of ps ax. You will
need to make sure you have it on your system and that it is started.

Thank you
Russell
