1) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 9 Bible by Wiley. I ordered this item for my husband and while the book is fine, one of the CDs is unplayable. He repeatedly tried to contact the company and could not get any personal response and could not get his CD replaced. He is very dissatisfied with the package, as it is unable to be played as desired.¤

2) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 9 Bible by Wiley. This book is about Red Hat 9, with the Red Hat 9 CDs included. Red Hat 9 is no longer supported by Red Hat. They have moved on to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise. But Red Hat 9 is still supported by 3rd parties, and is probably the best of the Linux versions for older computers.

I have a 1998 Gateway Solo laptop. Red Hat 9 is the only version of Linux which allows everything on it to work. The sound system on this laptop does not work with Fedora or any other version of Linux. But it is completely compatable with Red Hat 9.

If you are looking at 3rd party software, normally you will find they support Red Hat 7 thru 9, Fedora, and Debian.

If you install a fedora system, much of the book can be used as a reference.

If you get this book/Cd set, I would also suggest getting "Running Linux" 4th edition by Welsh, Dalheimer, Dawson, and Kaufman. Published by O´Reilly. This book covers all versions of Linux and will compliment the Red Hat Bible.¤

3) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 9 Bible by Wiley. If you are new to the Linux scene and want to dive into the last Red Hat release before Fedora and Enterprise, this book is for you. From step by step configurations to advanced user administration this book has it all! It won´t take long to finish all 900+ pages and you will be up and running with a properly configured Linux system in no time. If you are looking for a reference book, this will also add to your shelf set. I sometimes find myself going to it for a quick reference here and there. Even though it is not a Fedora or Enterprise book, it will still help you in learning about how Red Hat develops its operation systems. This knowledge can be ported to other Linux distributions. I started with Red Hat 7.2 and have evolved into a homegrown LFS (Linux from scratch) box because of help from books like these. A must have for all!¤

4) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 9 Bible by Wiley. I´m a computer engineering student and network administrator with a fairly heavy background in MS operating systems and programming. When I decided to move on to the *nix world, the Red Hat Linux 9 Bible came highly recommended from my other friends (also powerusers). While this book is not a complete reference for everything that can be done with Linux (ie. PHP), it´s an excellent introduction and reference, and provides a thorough walkthrough for starting a variety of services that are packaged with the RH9 distribution, including the Apache HTTPd, vsFTPd, sendmail, MySQL, BIND DNS, DHCP, and Samba servers.

Might want to buy a supplementary reference for shell commands, but this is an excellent overview and walkthrough.¤

5) Paperback Book Red Hat Linux 9 Bible by Wiley. I am a Newbie to Linux. I´ve used MS products throughout the years, and finally decided to try Linux. From all of the reviews I had read, I chose the "Red Hat Linux 9 Bible," by Christopher Negus to begin my journey.

Luckily, I read-through about one-third of the book before trying the installation. I successfully installed Linux on a Compaq Presario, although the BIOS always over-rides any O.S. disk, other than the restoration disk (98) that came with the system. I compared the Linux Bible information to my MCSE 2000 kit and decided to set-up two FAT 16 partitions, two FAT 32 partitions, and leave the rest of the disk unpartitioned. Note: my first experiment, with only one FAT 16 partition was unsuccessful, and the Boot record was toast. Two FAT 16 partitions allowed me to retain the boot record and dual-boot, properly. The Linux Bible informed me about leaving the rest of the hard drive unpartitioned, in preparation for the Linux installation.

Even on the Compaq Presario--with the BIOS over-ride issue--I was able to dual-boot with MS Windows and Linux (although I am a newbie to Linux, and this was my first insatllation of Linux), thanks to The Linux Bible. Now, despite the fact that the BIOS only wants Windows 98, I can successfully boot Linux, 98 & 2000 on the same machine. Most people probably would-have just flashed the Motherboard BIOS, but this was my Mom´s PC, at the time I was experimenting. 98 keeps the BIOS happy, and I need the FAT 16 partitions for Linux, so this set-up works well--without flashing the BIOS (and risking damage to the Motherboard).
Important note: the Linux Bible taught me to install the Windows Operating systems first, to preserve the Master Boot record--which I did. However, if I made Windows the primary O.S., it dusted Linux. So, I made Linux the Primary boot O.S., and DOS secondary. Now, when I boot, I can choose Linux (or let it automatically load), or choose DOS, then choose between 98 or 2000.
Without The Linux Bible I would not have had a clue how to trick the BIOS and install Linux on the Compaq Presario.
Also, I found The Linux Bible to be extremely helpful, once the O.S. was installed and I could tear myself away from the Astroids game--which is rather addictive.
I strongly suggest The Linux Bible to other Newbies. You can find all of the informmation you need--including the Shell commands. This book seems to be the perfect introduction / Initiation into Linux. I also purchased "Linux in a Nutshell" (O´Reilly), but it seems to be written for people who already know what they are doing and already know how to install Linux.¤
