Ahhh.... easy confusion. Red Hat Linux was a bit less Enterprise 
oriented. If I recall, Red Hat 9 was out about the same time the Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 2.x was out. That became known as RHEL for short. 
CentOS is a clone of RHEL. So, CentOS 6 is the latest from Redhat other 
than the Fedora project.

In summary, most of that book will have good information, in particular 
the basics, but it is very old at this point. I suppose around 10 years 
old now. That book will not cover a number of things that have been 
added into CentOS 6.
