The fedora project is the future of redhat 9, so, you can use (for the moment), redhat 9 documentation.

Take a look at: http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/rhl9.html and firt: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/getting-started-guide/

This can be a good start.

http://rute.sourceforge.net/ - but go there with mozilla, AFAIK Internet Expolrer can not display .html.gz or just get http://www.icon.co.za/~psheer/rute.pdf.bz2 . I think because --- cut --- Preface

When I began working with GNU/LINUX in 1994, it was straight from the DOS world. Though UNIX was unfamiliar territory, LINUX books assumed that anyone using LINUX was migrating from System V or BSD--systems that I had never heard of. It is a sensible adage to create, for others to share, the recipe that you would most like to have had. Indeed, I am not convinced that a single unifying text exists, even now, without this book. Even so, I give it to you desperately incomplete; but there is only so much one can explain in a single volume.

I hope that readers will now have a single text to guide them through all facets of GNU/LINUX. --- cut --- you'll find it usefull ;) ...and of course the RedHat documentation itself. subscribing to some local linux user group mailing list helps also...
