RHCE Certification Class/Exam

I'm going to be taking the Red Hat Linux Certified Engineer Fast Track class the week of Oct 17th.  I'd highly recommend getting this RHEL6 RHCE Study Guide, whether you're taking a Red Hat class or not.  It's a great resource and they provide lots of end of chapter hands on exercises as well as sample exams.

The test is entirely hands on and you're given a computer system and have to perform various tasks, fix problems, etc.  Here's an exam outline if you're interested.  The test is in two parts, a RHCSA (Red Hat Certified Systems Administrator) portion which is first and 2 hours and the RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer) portion which is another 2 hours.

The test is difficult enough as it is, but now they will be asking you to do different things on a very different operating system, so it will be even tougher than it normally would.  So needless to say, I will be spending the next month doing as much prep work as I can. So if my blogging slacks a bit over the next month, don't hold it against me.  I'll attempt to keep things going and will probably need a diversion anyhow.  Thanks for understanding and wish me luck!

Update:  I passed!
