In response to these issues, I think I have gotten a very good book written by Ball and Duff, "Red Hat Linux & Fedora Unleashed," published by Sams. Although this book talks about Fedora Core 1 (now I am using Core 3, and Core 4 is out), it covers many aspects from the basics and up. Many commandline usage is outdated, but the concenpt remains the same. I would regard this book as a good reference. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
