Unless you need the clustering ability and a high level of Red Hat
provide support, 8.0 is adequate. You will be required to do more
frequent upgrades to get security-related fixes, but you'll also get
more leading-edge features. AS is targeted at enterprises as is obvious
from its price tag. AW, when it ships later this spring (?) will come
with a lower price tag, no clustering, and have a similar support
structure as AS.

Since you're trying to learn the Linux server and not the desktop, the
7.2 book is adequate. There is documentation on Red Hat's web site in
multiple formats that you can use for 8.0-specific functions.

This one will most likely suffice. Try to stump us and then make up
your mind :=)
