[TriLUG] RHCE

[Andrew C. Oliver]

I've been told that I can't take the JBoss certification because I wrote 
several of the questions and various training materials.... ;-)

However I'm sure I don't know the 'RedHat' way of doing things especially since I have been using Debian for the bulk of my Linux experience. I am concerned about the pass/fail rate especially as it relates to the amount of money they want for the 'training'+test. I am thinking that the end of August may be premature to take the test as I really do not want to pay for it more than once as the it will then be on my dime. I am interested in feedback as to what the testing is really like? How could I best prepare myself for a distribution specific exam? Also is there anyone else looking at taking the exam in the Sept. Oct. time frame that would like to get together and study for it in a structured way? Lastly is there any alternative in addition to the LPI?
