Fedora ok for the RHCSA?

dman777 · 01-17-2011, 06:47 AM

I have been using Centos 5.5 to study for the RHCSA. However, now the exam is tested over RHEL 6. I always wanted to use Fedora for studying for the RHCSA and RHCE, but I read where it is best to use Centos since it stays to the RHEL conventions. Since RHEL is testing on version 6, would it be best/safe to use Fedora?

I have my RHCSA and to be honest you should be fine using Fedora for practice. Since I can't say much about the actual exam (non-disclosure type stuff), I will say this:

Be comfortable with the command line, it is your friend!

Good luck!

oh ya, i love the command line. gentoo is my main os of choice. i wanted to use fedora instead of centos so i can have more software choices like compiz-fusion.

Compiz running fine on CentOS 5.5 here, no problems. Have you checked the CentOS wiki?

Also I guarantee Compiz is not on the RHCSA exam.

Is that Compiz or Compiz Fusion?

Sorry, I don't know the difference. Whichever one makes the spinning desktop cube.
