hai,
i have just signed up for this forum.
i have installed redhat9 linux on my system
i want to know a good comprehensive, detailed, standard book (for both GUIs and COMMANDs) for redhat9 which is just simply like a bible and teaches me everything.
(i had a problem with installing new drivers for sound and lan card, it was tough learning how to make and configure for these. something that teaches all these kind of things)

Well, you might find this thread interesting:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/redha.../msg00315.html
but I'd go with the free info on the net eg:
http://www.icon.co.za/~psheer/book/index.html.gz - Full book on Linux
http://www.mamiyami.com/document/oreilly/ - Linux & Unix books (Linux is a Unix variant)
www.tldp.org - Bunch of HOWTOs etc

hi

i reckon you can't go past the Red Hat Linux 9 Bible. a bit deep in places, but very comprehensive.

alwaysnewbie; all those are good. here is another (in text book) , The Complete Reference Red Hat Linux S.E. Richard Petersen auth; Osborne/McGraw Hill pub. it is comprehensive. use it constantly.
