User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars It gives you all you need to pass the exam
I found this book very helpful in preparation for RHCE. It is really easy to pass the test if you follow the book carefully.
5 Stars Absolutely essential for RHCE exam candidates!
I picked this book up about a month before my RHCE exam was scheduled. I had been studying using the course objectives and the Red Hat Deployment Guide, but felt I was missing that extra jump to put me ahead of the game. This book was EXACTLY that extra jump. As a direct result of studying this book, I nailed the first half of the RHCE (100%), and got 93%/89% on the RHCT/RHCE portions of the second half, respectively. I’m an RHCE now, and I owe it in part to the author of this book. This book is no substitute for real experience. I have been working with Linux for well over 15 years, and running a 50% Linux datacenter for that last 9. But experience isn’t everything, because most people, even in a high-linux datacenter environment, don’t use all of the technologies that are tested on this exam. Do yourself a favor, buy this book.
Pay special attention to his break/fix instructions and the “Exam tips.” You will thank me later for that advice.
4 Stars Great book to start with
I bought this book to warm up myself as I am going to do some CentOS5.1 system-tunning for the Linux and I have been away from admin of Linux for several years. This book covers every aspects of Redhat5 however you have to go to other books or internet or manual if you want to know more samples or details.
5 Stars A MUST HAVE if you expect to pass RHCE exam!
I took the RH300 and failed my exam. I then read this book cover-to-cover and repeated the sample exams over and over until I knew everything by heart. I went in and re-took the RHCE exam and am now certified. Without this book, it just wouldn’t have happened.
4 Stars Good book, except some mistakes and poor coverage of some topics
This book is quite good for RHCT.
For RHCE - I found that it doesn’t explain well following topics :
1) squid and especially acl for squid
2) bind chapter is just a bunch of text, I could not understand anything out of this chapter. Had to take book on Fedora Core 6 which explained step by step how to setup bind.
3) sendmail. It has only basic stuff, again book on Fedora Core 6 has much better explanation.
4) Some of the stuff on LVM is not accurate in the book (for instance, you can resize volume without need to reformat it, just use resize2fs). I suggest to read LVM howto as a substitute for this chapter.
Overall this book is OK, but I would say that alone it’s not enough to pass RHCE.
Download Installation guide & Deployment guide from Red Hat and whenever read this book also reference those 2 docs.
