So I did it... It took 4.5 years of working through the ranks -
But now I am officially a UNIX admin, level II. This was my 2nd day on the job, and it is AMAZING!!!!!
We do it all - AIX, HPUX, RHE, Solaris - even some CentOS and others in there, but not much besides the major 4.
Little did I know this hobby would turn into a KILLER career. This experience is invaluable.

The cool part is, if you look at my reg date, that was about 2 or 3days after I found Linux. Back then it was a fun hobby just seeing if I could.
Now it pays the bills so well, my wife stays at home now.

It's good to get your RHCE...only for self gratification though
It's a tough test and you feel good after passing it
