After reading through this book I found that I liked it not only for an exam guide but also as a source of quick answers to miscellaneous small questions. For example, I had a minor problem where I knew what the problem was and what had to be done, but could not remember the specific utility or specific steps needed. A quick turn to the appropriate section of the book and I had my answer. This is not a book that you would use to try to learn Linux and it does not profess to be such a book. On the other hand if you have a familiarity with Red Hat Linux and want a refresher, or a short summary of the most common administrative tasks this is an excellent book. If I were to take a good Linux book and write an outline so that I could just jump to the answers when I had questions this is the kind of book that I would end up with. "Red Hat Certified Engineer Exam Notes" is a highly recommended read for anyone wanting a summary of Red Hat Linux in a well-organized format.

A great cram book. Short and to the point. Highly recommend reading it just before going to course to get an overview.

If you dont plan on going to course, read it BEFORE starting your
studies from the bigger Study Guide for a good overview. (I recommend "RHCE Red Hat Certified Engineer Linux Study Guide, Third Edition" by Michael Jang) Published by McGraw-Hill.

Happy Studying!

Good luck with your exam.

This guide is ancient. But, it's cheap and a decent source of information. My "Learning Linux" book published in 1996 from QUE still has a ton of relevant information, and it's going on fifteen years old. (Linux turns 20 this year, I believe).

So, if you need a Linux guide, there's probably better (and newer ones) than this.

I'm taking my Red Hat certification in a couple weeks and was looking for a quick "cram" guide to fill in some of the minor things that I might overlook.

If you are going to be taking a red hat certification exam in the near future, there's better guides than this to prepare you for the exam.

2/5 stars because much of the information is still relevant, and I should have paid more attention to the dates the other reviews were posted.

I purchased this for my husband who said it had good basic information. He said he WOULD recommend it.
