1. Introduction

This is the RedHat 7.0 Install-HOWTO. This is supposed to be an introduction to installing RedHat Linux for anyone that is new to Linux. I have decided to use RedHat Linux because of its ease of use which makes it a great platform for learning. Although this HOWTO assumes at least moderate skills in using a PC, it does not assume prior knowledge or use of Linux.

1.1 Why RedHat?

Like I mentioned above, I chose RedHat Linux because it is very user friendly. (Compared to other Linux distributions, anyhow). This is probably the best platform to learn Linux from, primarily because all of the configuration tools RedHat has added, like Linuxconf.

1.3 New Versions of This Document
