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.

We bought dedicated server from fasthosts, and opted for redhat enterprise at an extra cost of £277.
However, there seems to be no difference whatsoever, and also the apache test page shows up as "powered by centos"!!!
Any ideas? Should i ask for a refund and just go with centos? As the redhat is so out of date too, everything needed updating and at least when you purchase redhat from themselves you get regular updates and support, fasthosts offer no support for dedicated servers.
If you paid for true RedHat, it should definitely say so, and it would mean you have some sort of support (from RH) as well as updates avail.
If they've only given you Centos, you won't get the (paid) support from RH. OTOH, Centos keep themselves synced to RH's updates, so you will get those.
Maybe you only specified RH compatible? Or it could just be a mistake on their part. Just phone them and describe the situation.
