You should get a copy of a Linux CD which contains the Red Hat
distributions, version 2.1.  It is the distribution which currently
works best, and is easiest to install (and is ELF).

Yes, much too old.  Personally I'd recommend you don't get a book/CD
package as you tend to get ripped off a bit.  Buy a CD as above and
the get a copy of 'Running Linux' and possible 'The Linux Network
Administrators Guide' from O'Reilly.

Can't help there I'm afraid, wrong state. :-)
