Where to Get Red Hat Linux

Try looking on the CD-ROM that came with this book—Red Hat Linux is there. You can also get Red Hat from the Internet by pointing your browser to http://www.redhat.com/apps/download. By browsing to a Red Hat mirror site, you can find Red Hat for each of the three supported platforms (Intel, Alpha, and SPARC), along with individual .rpm packages, upgrades, and updates. Browse to Red Hat, Inc.'s home page, http://www.redhat.com, for answers to frequently asked questions, mailing lists, and much more. You can call Red Hat at 888-RED-HAT1 and order products, as well.

Because you already have a copy of Red Hat Linux (from the CD-ROMs in this book), you might just need to know where you can get updates, tips, HOW-TOs, and errata. The timeliest source for this information is the Web. Just point the old Netscape browser to http://www.redhat.com/support/docs and you'll find a plethora of information.
