Getting Documentation

2.1 Getting Documentation

Red Hat Linux is a powerful, full-featured operating system. Unless you're a Linux wizard, you're going to need additional documentation to make the most of your Red Hat Linux system. We strongly suggest reading over the Official Red Hat Linux Getting Started Guide to see what it can offer you in terms of both use and support. It has been written guide you through using Red Hat Linux once the installation has been completed.

Everyone should review the Official Red Hat Linux Getting Started Guide for more information on available Linux documentation as well as using Red Hat Linux 6.0 to its full potential. While many people will find the resources described in the Getting Started Guide to be very helpful, people who are just starting to use Linux will likely need additional information. The information that will be most helpful to you depends on your level of Linux expertise:

New To Linux -- If this is your first time using Linux (or any Linux-like operating system, for that matter), you'll need solid introductory information on basic UNIX concepts. For example, O'Reilly and Associates (http://www.ora.com/) produce a wide variety of Linux and UNIX-related books. Give their more general titles a try.

Some Linux Experience -- If you've used other Linux distributions (or a Linux-like operating system), you'll probably find what you're looking for in some of the more in-depth reference material available. For example O'Reilly's more specialized titles are valuable when you need a lot of information on a particular subject.

Old Timer -- If you're a long-time Red Hat Linux user, you probably don't need us telling you what documentation to read. Thanks for reading this far!
