An observation: I took the RHCE, and thought it was awesome - as in, intense.
Example1: We were given a huge lists of tasks to set up for a new system/server. On a normal business day, I would expect to see that list, and tell the user, "I'll have this by sometime tomorrow". The RHCE list for the new setup, however, was as extensive, but you only were given something like 90 minutes. Example2: We were given another system that was broken. VERY broken. The room was filled with sysadmins. By the end of the timeframe, half of the room still had not gotten their boxes to run. I think out of 11 of us, only 6 passed [including me]. The instructor said something before the test that stuck with me, it was something along the lines of "During the test, you'll have full access to the documentation set(s) as well as any of the man pages for RedHat. But, I'll give you a clue- if you need to check the documentation often, you'll never have enough time to complete the test and pass... you just need to KNOW this stuff." -Kent _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
