[TriLUG] Red Hat System Admin class

[Jim Ray]

There is no book out there that will save your soul if you don't know
how to do the processes. I enjoyed the book.

Another book that I purchased recently and that I have enjoyed was
recommended by a person that I trust, Jon Carnes, is as follows:

"Essential System Administration" by Frisch (O'Reilly)

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.
