I am new to Linux but am evaluating it and Win-NT as the O.S. for a small web site.

Two days ago I picked up Red Hat (3.0.3) Linux Archives CD and it installed really 
easily. I had previously fiddled with a slackware version (4 CD set) and found 
X-Windows a bitch to setup (by comparison ;-) ).

I am now trying to get my Linux machine to talk to a Win95 PC via ethernet. This is 
not going so smoothly mainly because the documentation (/usr/doc) seems to refer to 
previous versions of Red Hat. I suspect they may be trying to sell copies of their 
book ??

Other things seem to be missing. For example, Linux Unleashed refers to the commands 
adduser or useradd which I can't find. There is a v.nice X-Windows tool to do this, 
but *maybe* you don't want to use X.
