Appendix B. Getting Technical Support

•

Successfully configuring the X Window System using

Xconfigurator

•

Configuring a local parallel port printer to print text

•

Configuring a mouse

Our installation assistance service is designed to get Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES running on your

system as quickly and as easily as possible. However, there are many other things that you may want

to do with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES system, from compiling a custom kernel to setting up a

Web server, which are not covered.
For assistance with these tasks, there is a wealth of online information available in the form of

HOWTO documents, Linux-related websites, and commercial publications. The various Linux

HOWTO documents are included with Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES on the Documentation CD in

the

/HOWTOS

directory. These HOWTOS are provided in text files that can easily be read from within

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES and other operating systems.
A large number of Linux-related websites are available. The best starting point for finding information

on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES is the Red Hat, Inc. website:

http://www.redhat.com/

Many Linux-related books are available. If you are new to Linux, a book that covers Linux basics will

be invaluable. We can recommend several titles: The

Official Red Hat Linux Getting Started Guide

;

Using Linux

, by Bill Ball;

Linux Clearly Explained

, by Bryan Pfaffenberger;

Linux for Dummies

, by

Jon "maddog" Hall; and

Learning Red Hat Linux

, by Bill McCarty.

Certain Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES products include additional support programs covering advanced

configurations. Please see the Red Hat Support website for more information. The Red Hat technical

support website is located at the following URL:

http://www.redhat.com/support/

B.3. Scope of Red Hat Support

Red Hat, Inc. can only provide installation assistance to customers who have purchased an Official Red

Hat Enterprise Linux ES boxed set and/or an Official Red Hat OEM partner kit. If you have obtained

Linux from any other company, you must contact that company for support. Other companies include:

•

Macmillan

•

Sams/Que

•

Linux Systems Labs (LSL)

•

Mandrake

•

CheapBytes

Additionally, Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES obtained via any of the following methods does not qualify

for support from Red Hat:

•

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES PowerTools Archive

•

Downloaded via FTP on the Internet

•

Included in a package such as Motif or Applixware

•

Copied or installed from another user’s CD

•

A CD-ROM (or CD-ROM set) included in a Linux book or other publication.
