Summary

The Red Hat Linux installation is the simplest and most straightforward installation available. After going through this chapter and following the step-by-step installation, you should now have a running Linux system. Keeping your system updated with the latest versions of utilities and libraries ensures compatibility with most new applications being developed for Linux and keeps your system operating efficiently.

If you do have problems, there are HOWTOs and FAQs on the CD-ROM that comes with this book. Most of them are in HTML format, so they can be viewed straight off the
CD-ROM using a Web browser. In addition to the CD-ROM, the Red Hat Web site
(http://www.redhat.com) contains installation documentation and errata sheets for Red Hat Linux.
