RHCE study question

cdavidson · 03-29-2005, 08:11 AM

I'm about to begin preparation for RHCT/RHCE and I wanted some opinions, especially from those who have done/are studying for Red Hat. Is it necessary to spend the $$$ on a copy of RHEL to sufficiently prepare for the test, or will something like Cent OS4 suffice? Also, do you guys recommend Jang's study guide? From what I've read it's the best on the market. I'm considering taking Red Hat's classes via the web, anyone got any info on whether or not the classes get the job done as far as preparing you for the real thing? Thanks in advance...

Personally, I took the 4 day class prior to testing. I got 100% across the board and finished in around 40 minutes. Study guides cover a large ranges of topics, if you want to truely prepare for the test, take their class. They will cover everything you will need.

If that's out of the question, I would recommend using Fedora. It's essentually the test ground for RHEL, and is the closest thing to RHEL.

I have to be honest though, the test wasn't easy. There were guys there who had a lot of experience who failed. Every Distro has their own ideas of what is important, and what's not. You just have to study as best you can, and make sure you have a lot of hands on experience.

One final thing, break you system and try to fix it. Break the bootloader, break the GUI, break the networking... get a friend to break it for you and them try to fix it.

You can use CentOS which is a clone of RHEL.

Then I guess the more appropriate question is which would better suit my study needs...Cent OS4 or Fedora???

CentOs is the closest to RHEL4.0

Is there a live CD version of CentOS? If yes then where is it available?

dude, what you just did is called THREAD HIJACKING... please don't post unrelated questions on threads... first search LQ to see if your question has already been asked, and if it hasn't then start your own new thread...
