Mind your manners when calling RHL 9 ancient or I'll come over and hit you with my walker. Advice to OP: Don't spend much money on treeware books about Linux in general or CentOS in particular. The technology moves fast enough that the book will be obsolete in six months to a year. I work best with real books because I can easily dog-ear, underline, highlight, mark, etc. so I understand liking a real book. If you really want to have a real book, take the time to visit a local book store that has a decent selection of technical books and page through some of the books there to see which author's style fits you. If you can afford it, spend the money and support your local book store. If you can't afford it, see what you can find on-line, at a garage or yard sale, etc. Either way, get used to using Google to get answers to your questions. The answer will change over time.
