 Helped my pass my RHCT March 7, 2010
K. Cochran (Chicago, IL USA)
Highly recommend as a study aid. I have always worked with Linux distros at home, but my job recently required more from me in the area of Red Hat Enterprise Linux support. I attended the RH 133 week long class. While attending the class I was also reading this book. It gave me a different angle to the material that the instructor covered and really think that it helped give me the extra push to get my RHCT. I would not say that this book alone would have caused me to pass the exam, but it really helped augment the instructor based class. It is also been a great reference guide in going forward in my new duties with managing RHEL systems around the office.
Excellent book, a bit out of date January 5, 2010

I used this book to study for my RHCE Exam in December of 2009. From what I have heard from this book and my personal experience, it is THE book to use for studying for the RHCE exam besides the material provided in the 300 course. The labs in the book were quite good, but I found that I had to do some extra steps to get my system to a point where I could execute the lab well. Figuring out how to get my system to that point were very good learning experiences, but they made me skim through labs since I didn't want to bother with the setup. It would have been very nice if they provided a pre-configured vm image of a similar release (like CentOS) that was preconfigured so that when you hit a lab, you had all of the necessary pieces, or at least build on the pieces from the previous labs.
NOTE: I mentioned in my title that the book is a bit out of date. From studying book I thought that I would have to configure a RHEL system from scratch (do an install, pick package groups, pick partition sizes, etc). Red Hat eliminated the installation portion of the exam in 2008 or 2009. The exam is now only a 3.5 hour session consisting of RHCT troubleshooting and RHCE system configuration.

I think everyone should be required to take & pass the RHCE 'if' you would in a
Enterprise environment or in a smaller company. Understanding the fundamentals of
an Operating System to the complexity of services that can survive the public
Internet or Internal network is key to success.
I learned a lot from digging in and I know when I set up servers for work they
are correct and done by the book, not by some search off the Internet or by some
forum where people do things by the seat of the pants...
This to me was an awesome achievement and milestone, I knew after going through
all of the self-sacrifice it allowed me to except new challenges.

I recently purchased the RHCE Exam Guide by Michael Jang, and I give the book all five stars because it is exactly what I expected it to be: an excellent, thorough, and practical approach to Linux administration. I was first introduced to Michael through his Fedora Core 5 book, which was also an excellent reference. Indeed, I often refer to the Fedora 5 book for straight answers for many questions that I have about later releases of the Linux OS.
I bought the book because I intend to take and pass the RHCE exam. The book was recommended by others who used it as their sole reference and preparation source for the exam. The book is well outlined and incremental in its approach to the entire operating system, and gives step-by-step configurations for all the necessary elements of exam preparation.
Two personal notes: first, I do not think the book will be my only reference during exam preparation. While the book gives excellent outlines of configurations and settings, it does not explain the low-level & to many of the services and utilities of Linux. If this were so, the book would easily be twice its size. The reader is left to fill in his/her own knowledge gaps in order to become intimate with the deeper workings of The Greatest OS on Earth. Second, I sensed from Michael's writing style early in the Fedora 5 book that he was sitting next to me, mentoring me through the learning process. It could well be his teaching style, or my learning style, or simple personal resonation alone that drives me to carry the book with me everywhere: from night stand to office and back.
All in all, the book is a no-nonsense, direct, pragmatic approach to a very, very complex subject. Caveat Emptor: the introduction states clearly that the RHCE exam has a 50% pass rate for first time test takers. Then again, the RHCE IS the most sought-after certification in the industry. All the more reason to focus on success with this book. I'm glad to own the Third & Fifth editions.
