[RHCE] new to the list and would like to know what version of RH to study with

[lfwelty]

I didn't pass the test on the first try. ~75%.
I didn't take the class, but I think if I had studied prior to
the class as I did prior to the exam, I would have passed it the
first time.

I passed it readily the second time. ~95%.
The RH Press book helped clarify areas where I was still weak 
before retaking the exam. I think the exam's fairly difficult,
but I'm primarily an engineer w/ additional IT responsibilities.
Some of the areas I had to learn for the first time for the
exam. ppl who work directly in the IT field and deal with most
of the areas daily would probably find it easier.

Their web site covers alot of the details and gives a good 
set of requirements to study.
