Sams Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours is a tutorial aimed at making the Linux beginner a more effective and productive user of the operating system. Most books in this category are more of a general reference in nature and are designed to cover Linux in general. But every Linux distribution is different--file locations can change, commands can be a little different, etc., meaning the readers of those books may not find answers specific to their installation. This book uses the effective Sams Teach Yourself format to instruct you how to: install the operating system, configure hardware, and effectively use the tools that come with the Red Hat distribution included on the CD-ROM.
