HI!
As I have written in another topic I decided to not take the official course for red hat exam but organize a "home lab" and self study. Now I'm wondering about the OS that would be more similar to the rh enterprise which i don't have and for personal i will not have (too expensive for now) what will be better fedora or red hat 9? I will try to do all steps mentioned here: http://www.redhat.com/training/rhce/examprep.html and then take the rhce exam.

For now my home lab contains 4 PC connected in simple LAN network with the cheap 10/100 switch. Most of computers has slackware and the one - server has three services: ftp, www, mail. So what do you think am i right here? Will this "lab" and books, hotto's be enought to pass?

Sorry for so many topics about this exam but i really wan't to get the test and what's important pass the test

I know a few people who took the RHCE exam and they all told me that it was the hardest exam they ever took so good luck to you my friend ...
Since most of these guys had a pretty extensive Unix and linux knowledge to start with I know I wouldn't pass the exam in a 100 years even if I could study for a whole year.

Since you don't want to buy a RHEL copy your best bet would probably be whiteboxlinux and if you don't like that RH9.
RHEL 3.0 is based on RH9 with enhancements on kernel level.

thanks

thanks for the url i will check this distribution
