tailieunhanh - Red Hat Linux Second Edition

I don’t know how many times I have been asked what Red Hat is. When I say that it is a distribution of Linux, people tend to know what I am talking about. (At least the people I hang around with do!) The follow-up question is usually something like, “Okay, if it is a distribution of Linux, why should I use it, and not Linux itself?” This introduction should start to answer that question. Red Hat also answers the question on its Web page (http:// ), which is summarized in this introduction | Red Hat Linux. Second Edition David Pitts et al.
