Review :
"Learning Red Hat Linux is highly selective, focusing on just the right issues which impact on usability and understanding for the beginner." - Martin Howse, LinuxUser & Developer, Issue 30 "The book is exactly what you would expect from a guide to setting up a new box. This can be considered the standard reference in its field. Other authors aiming to write similar works should note that this will need something exceptional to surpass it." Linux Magazine, Jan 2004
