What is this book about?

Red Hat Linux 9 is a powerful, flexible open source operating system. Its popularity is growing, both in home use and in corporate environments of all sizes. Its user interface makes it every bit as accessible as other operating systems, and its open source pedigree opens the doors to a mind-blowing amount of free software.

This book guides you through that difficult time that comes just after you’ve installed a new operating system, by giving you the confidence to open your wings and fly with it. We’ll take you through the installation, we’ll get you working, and by the end of the book you’ll have a well-configured, stable, secure operating system and a world of possibilities.
