What's it all about?

This manual takes a concise instructional approach to show you how to get specific things done in Linux. The unfortunate drawback to this approach is that it inevitably becomes - in part - distro-specific. In this case, towards Red Hat Linux.

Most of this manual is not distro-specific, so if you do use another distro then I still recommend checking out this manual (although ignore parts 2 and 3 of "The Installation Bits"). I've had much praise given to the manual from users of other distros so I must be doing something right. :)
