Steps to Get You Started
Note
Although this manual reflects the most current information possible, read the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux Release Notes for information that may not have been available prior to this documentation
being finalized. The Release Notes can be found on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD #1 and online
at:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/
2.1. Where to Find Other Manuals
If your particular product did not include all of the printed Red Hat Enterprise Linux manuals, you
can find them online or on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Documentation CD included with your Red
Hat Enterprise Linux product.
To find the manuals in HTML, PDF, and RPM formats online, go to:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/
2.2. Registering Your Product
Registration enables access to the Red Hat Services you have purchased, such as technical support
and Red Hat Network. To register your product, go to:
http://www.redhat.com/apps/activate/
Note
You must activate your product before attempting to connect to Red Hat Network. If your product
has not been activated, Red Hat Network rejects registration to channels to which the system is not
entitled.
2.3. Is Your Hardware Compatible?
Hardware compatibility is particularly important if you have an older system or a system that you
built yourself. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 should be compatible with most hardware in systems that
were factory built within the last two years. However, hardware specifications change almost daily, so
it is hard to guarantee that your hardware will be 100% compatible.
