[RHCE] Red Hat 9.0

[Steven Holton]

According to several sources, Red Hat will be shipping
a 9.0 version, perhaps within the next week or two.

I guess that means studying for the RHCE based on RH 8.0
is pretty much out of the question. I'd suspect if you haven't
already signed-up for an RHCE exam, you should probably be
studying the (as yet unreleased) Red Hat 9.0

Which raises a few questions for the RHCE study group:

- How many people are interested in studying Red Hat 8.0
   versus Red Hat 9.0?

- Does anyone have any inside information about how this will
   affect the content of the RHCE exam?

- Should we plan to continue with our current cirriculum
   and schedule, or re-work the schedule?

- Do we need to suspend meetings until we see what 9.0
   brings, or should we continue with the understanding
   that anything we learn for 8.0 will likely be applicable
   to 9.0 as well?

- Have we lost our charter? In the past, our focus has been
   to study for whatever RHCE exam we were likely to be taking.
   Perhaps we need to re-think this into a "general Linux
   Certification training" study group, in order to insulate
   ourselves from the Red Hat whims?

- Is anyone else getting frustrated with trying to hit
   the moving RHCE target?


I'm posing these as "food for thought" questions for the group.
We probably need to make this a topic of discussion for Wednesday's
IRC meeting.
