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.

May I ask an old stupid question:
I download mt-st-0.7-10.i386.rpm, I want to install it into my old
PC running redhat 9.0. I do not know which directory I should put it into, and run 'rpm -i mt-st-0.7-10.i386.rpm'?
I have other new computer but this old PC has SCSI to run tapes,so
I have to run it.

Thank you.
Please run the command:
Code:
uname -a
on this system and post the output. People will need to know more about this version, redhat 9.0.
It does not matter because when you run the command all the separate components i.e. the program, man pages etc will automatically be installed to the correct directories.
If you post the computer specifications there might be a newer current distribution version that might run on your old computer instead of RH9.
I have installed mt-st-0.7-10.i386 in my old PC. Thanks to your help.
No one of my friends nearby still run computers having devices to read tapes, so I have to recover my old PC, though it is old.
