Installation-HOWTO This document, from the RedHat 7.1 distribution, is a brief overview of how to install Linux. Note, this is a generic Linux document as opposed to the more detailed RedHat installation manual listed above. If you want a quick idea of what you are getting yourself in for, this is not a bad place to start.

DNS-HOWTO How to setup DNS (Domain Name Service) from the RedHat 7.1 distribution.
