Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I want to resize NTFS partition to make space for linux.
You need to just boot, not install. The Red Hat cd may have a rescue option somewhere that lets you boot a small linux from the cd. Read the docs on the cd to find out how to use it.
just use partition magic, resize the ntfs partition (create unallocated space), and install linux in the unallocated space. piece of cake, Ive done it dozens of times...
When I had this problem, my Windows XP was blown up anyway, so I ended up FDISKing from an old Win98 startup disk, creating a partition for XP, and one for Linux. Then formatting in NTFS the partition for XP. Inelegant, but it worked.
