RHCE Question->

sharptech

Hey guys - new here to the linux forum :P

I just got offered a job where I will be trained to get RHCE certified. I have one month before I started the job so I wanted to know which materials I should get?

I am new to Linux - however they are providing training to get me through this.

I wanted to get material related to RHCE so I could get started studying and preparing one month before I start.

Thanks..

Download and install CentOS, it's closer to Red Hat than Fedora.
Congrats on the job!

The company uses RedHat Fedora so I will be installing that - I might get a few books on it as well.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh, well then use Fedora!

However, for preparing for the RHCE exam, I still recommend CentOS (unless you can afford a copy of Red Hat). And this book always looked tempting to me, but I don't have the time to invest in the RHCE right now so never bought it:

Thanks and a few questions..

Is this the right one to DL ? -CentOS 4.4 i386.

Can I dual install Fedora and CentOS?

I want to use both and thanks again for the help.

Also -

How much is it to take this test and where are the centers as to where you can take it?

Thanks..

I heard that the test is around 800 dollars. I don't know where test centers are located. If you are using an Intel machine to install it on then that one will work. The i386 specifies the architecture. i = Intel 386 is for their 386 line of CPU's.

Thanks!

I got Fedora Core installed last night and will get CentOS on their soon.

I own this book... It is an excellent training kit and along with its RHCT is one of the best resources (and few) that really prepare you for this tough exam...
