It's based off of Fedora, but much of the information can be gained from it. It's written in a very informal style. For a more in depth, but not too in depth, I liked Linux Administration: A beginner's Guide by Steven Graham and Steve Shah. It gives a few Red Hat information, though they confesses to love and use Mandrake, but what I love is that he also shows how to administer using the actual configuration files.
