RedHat Enterprise administration for HPUX SysAdmin

[Simon Hargrave]

* not sure if this should be in hpux or linux forum so i'll start in my home *

Can anyone recommend any good web resources for a reasonably experienced HP-UX administrator to get up to speed quickly on RedHat Enterprise 3? I have used Linux in the past in various flavours (debian, redhat 9 etc), but as they all differ I really need to get up to speed on Enterprise Linux.

For example, Enterprise equivelant of the typical hpux gotchas (useless default buffer cache and the like).

Stuff like this paper would be ideal: -

http://www.sans.org/rr/papers/index.php?id=936
http://www.unixguide.net/unixguide.shtml

Particularly interested in the nuances of Enterprise Linux specifically, ie binary only kernels, modules etc.

Anything you can throw at me really, the more the merrier!
