Part the first - here you will find a record of my earliest experiences of trying to install Linux. It is a narrative and has a few helpful hints.

Part the second - still to be completed. This is a more technical "howto" set up a basic system as a desktop and with some server services including an email server, web server and sharing printers with Windows based PC's in a network. Included is an example of how to set up dynamic IP if you have a non-fixed IP address.

Part the third - this is a description and "howto" upgrade Red Hat linux from version 7.3 to version 8.

Part the fourth - how to set up a multiple boot system, this one has Windows 98 and Red Hat Linux version 9.
