“A knowledgeable Windows user should have no trouble installing
RedHat 6.1 – as long as all of his hardware is supported “out of

“… the “Installation Guide” is very well done; it goes through
the installation process step-by-step; with plenty of screen shots,
and gives clear explanations of what options to select and
