True but in that process, through 3 modules, they learn a lot about
linux. And in my institute, command line was strictly adhered to. The
first 2 modules of RHCE are very knowledge giving.
When presented with a debain
machine they were all at sea.
True again because the RH course does not cover installing tar.gz
packages using ./configure, make, make install. It does not cover
compiling. Otherwise, it is only the file locations that are different
and it should not take long for an RHCE to figure his way out.
Let see if they pass and then check
once again. More important they are completely clueless about the
gpl, free software philosphy etc. which would make them another brand
of serfs.
That has no connection with expertise in an OS.
I would like to add from my limited experience that the best way to
learn linux is not just installing and experimenting with it but to use
it in daily life. Make a switch to linux and start doing everything in
linux. Use command line as much as possible for setups and file
transfers. If money permits, have a second or secondhand machine and
use it as a server for your routine work. Administer that server through
ssh only. Use debian based as well as rpm based distros to widen
experience.

Rony.
