Depending on how serious you are about this, I seriously suggest you buy some hard copies about RH and C, this way you can carry them around with you and read them if you have some spare time, I do this with my Learning Red Hat Linux Special Edition, which is for RH 6.2. I carry it around with me to all me classes, and i usually get about 20 pages or so during the school day doing this. I also sometimes carry around Learning Perl with me (which I got from the library-haven't bought it yet). Only problem with buying these books is they usually run $30-55 each. I payed 45 for my Learning Red Hat Linux SE, about a 2 years ago, which I still read and am still glad I bought it.....
