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.

make redhat boot to text rather than graphical mode
How do I make an installation that is currently booting to grapical mode, boot to text mode instead? I will still need to be able to use graphical mode occasionally but do not wish to boot to it.
Do you mean that you don't want the GUI to load at startup? or you don't want a splash screen?
If you don't want X to start at loadup, change the /etc/inittab change the default runlevel to 3 ...there should be a line that says id:3(or 5):initdefault:
"If you don't want X to start at loadup, change the /etc/inittab change the default runlevel to 3 ...there should be a line that says id:3(or 5):initdefault:"
You can also specify the runlevel as a kernel "command line" parameter. One easy way to do that is to define, say in grub.conf, two menu-entries that point to the same kernel, but specify different runlevels.
The default "non-graphic" runlevel is 3; the one that starts X-windows is "5." (See: man init.)
