All linux books will cover RedHat .. in general all the linux versions are
the same in commands.  Here are the books I have (note that no one book
covers everything)

Linux Unleashed
Linux Secrets
Using Linux: Special Edition

Since I use Debian (which I like more than RedHat).. I am in the process
of working on a book for that version, mainly because it handles several
features of linux a lot better and has features that no other linux has
just yet.  Such as the package manager, redhat has it ... but doesn't
compare.
