I've been around Linux/unix for almost 10 years now, but aside from a brief redhat5.2 stint, I'm a complete Redhat newbie. For work reasons, I need to become excellent with the distro and its quirks and habits.

Can anyone recommend to me some reading that will:

1. A) Not be dated
2. B) Provide me with a good guide for "recommended best practices"

I don't really need to know how to use ifconfig, for example, but I'd love to know how Redhat wants me to use it.

Can I expect to find a RHEL4 book and not worry? I know RHEL5 is pretty fresh, so the up-to-date books will be limited.

Note: by "books", I'm fine with paper books, ebooks, or just webpages.

Thanks!

hi,
Really, the material they provide for taking RHCE is very nice and completes all tasks necessary.
