[RHCE] Newbie Questions

[matusiak]

hey Kathir & RHCE group --

I would strongly recommend that you change the focus of your class to  
include Michael Jang's updated 4th edition of the RHCE study guide.   
Not only has he improved the book (based on a lot of feedback from  
users of the 3rd edition), but now it covers Red Hat Enterprise Linux,  
which is the focus of the new RHCE exam.

Doing a lot of work with Red Hat 8 or 9 right now is just not a good  
investment of your time.  The lifecycle of those products has expired  
and they will see limited deployment.  If this is about job training  
and learning current tools, then I highly recommend you check out this  
new text.

And Kathir, no one can tell you too much about the exams because the  
test taker has to agree to a Non-Disclosure agreement before they can  
take the test.  This helps protect Red Hat and the value of the RHCE  
certification.  However, you should know that the test WILL NOT include  
questions about the older Red Hat Linux products (8,9, etc), NOR will  
it include Fedora Core.  According to what I've been told, the only  
product knowledge tested involves their new line of Enterprise Linux  
products (Workstation, Server, etc).  Check redhat.com for more info.

Good luck on your Linux path!
