Interestingly, when I took the RHCE in 2004, I used this book to cram 
and found it quite helpful.  Maybe it was helpful for 2004's version, 
but hasn't been updated?   This was before they removed the multiple 
choice part of the test.

But I still maintain that just following the syllabi that Red Hat 
publishes, in conjunction with their documentation (so you learn the 
"Red Hat Way" of doing things), is ideal, and it costs nothing.
