I purchased a copy of the "Linux Unleashed" for slackware and I thought
it was a good introduction book.  (I'm going to assume the Red Hat
version isn't substantially different in the topics it covers, just in
the differences between the two releases)  The topic coverage of my
"Unleashed" book is quite broad, but not very deep.  There are many
times when I had to go find more information in the man pages, how-to's,
and other books.  As far as being a good introduction book, I'd
recommend it.

If you have any significant Unix experience, you'd be better off
ordering the distribution from the source and buying a different book.
The O'Rielly books are good.  I don't have any but the "Programming
perl" title in front of me, so I can't remember titles exactly.  I would
recommend the "Sendmail", "DNS & BIND", "Essential System
Administration" books as a start, depending on how serious your Linux
installation is.  Home computers can do without the first two, but the
"Essential System Administration" title is a must.

When it comes to additional subjects within Unix (X11/Motif programming
for example), always check to see if O'Rielly publishes a book covering
it.  In my dozen and a half books from them, I have yet to be
dissapointed.
