From the Author

If you're looking for a good book to help you with the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam, this book is for you. It covers the latest available exam objectives, and it includes updates based on software that will be included with Red Hat Linux 8.0.

Remember, there are three parts to the RHCE exam: Server Installation and Network Services Setup, Multiple Choice, and Debug. On the CD, there are two complete sample exams based on what is publicly known about the RHCE exam experience. Also available is an electronic copy of the book. You can get to both the sample exams and the e-book through your favorite Linux graphical Web browser or PDF reader. While the multiple choice test engine can only be installed through Microsoft Windows, that engine does not simulate the environment of the exam, and therefore can be ignored.

If you're serious about passing the RHCE exam, read this book. Practice installing and configuring Red Hat Linux. Work with scenarios that require you to debug a Linux computer. Practice installing and configuring Red Hat Linux network and user services. Practice again with different scenarios, until working with Red Hat Linux is second nature to you.

And finally, good luck!

Excellent study guide

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2003

Verified Purchase

As an experienced system administrator (AIX, DG-UX, Linux, HP-UX - HP Certified) I have found this book to be very useful. It is not a beginners how to book, but lists a lot of very useful information for day to day work as well as for exam preparation.

True, the included CD is aimed at Windows PCs, but it's very easy to access the PDF files on a Linux system as well without using the Windows programs.

I would recommend this book to anyone studying for RHCE.

Having taken the exam and passed in December 2004, this release of the book is a little dated since the format of the exam changed, but the content of the book is still very relevant.

The exam no longer includes multiple choice questions, but is now entirely performance based. There is an updated version of the book which I did not buy, having already had this one for some time. It is not aimed at people who want to be taught everything, but at people with initiative and willing to go out and practice and learn by themselves. The content is still good and is well worth the price to prepare for the exam, or to work through before going on an RH300 (bootcamp) or other RedHat class.

Good for Linux Beginners

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2006

Verified Purchase

I bought this book to get a premilinary insight into Linux and to move toward the path of certification. This book has served both as a guide to understanding basic Linux administration and as a solid reference. The material is based upon Red Hat 8, so newer Linux concepts such as Logical Volume Management are not covered. Useful for computer technicians learning the basics of Linux at a low cost.

Outdated - needs an overhaul

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2003

The information in the book is accurate and reasonably well written, but it no longer reflects the topics stressed in the RHCE exam. The long chapter on rebuilding the kernel and the modules is no longer needed. I wasted way too much time learning this material that is no longer on the test. Also, critical services like POP, IMAP, automount and sendmail do not recieve enough coverage.
This book appears to still be the best single source for RHCE review, but be aware that is is not nearly enough to get you through the test. It should be considered one resource among many that you will need.

Book released too soon

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2003

This book claims to include coverage of RedHat 8.0, but this is only partially true. The book was written before the release of version 8.
Two of the most difficult topics of RHCE, Bind and Sendmail suffer from this. For example, important Sendmail config files are not mentionned (/etc/mail/access and /etc/mail/local-hostnames). Without configuring those files, your mail system may well not work at all...
The author's explanations are from time to time rather vague, perhaps because he's not too sure about what version 8 will really be.
A few typo mistakes make you lose some time.
On the positive side this book is written in a straightforward style and really focuses on the practical aspects, whith labs you can practice on. It tends to concentrate on the essential, without drowning you under tons of useless commands and switches.
Don't expect to find much theory in this book and don't expect it to bring you some profound & thorough linux knowledges. For this, you will have to rely on other sources.

"Good" but just for a theory

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2004

I have RHCE and "yes" I bought this book but "no" it didn't help me. Why you ask? Because RedHat has changed their exam in Dec 2003. Please visit RedHat website to find out what they changed and how the exam will be given. Because of the NDA I'll be able to tell you that this exam is 100% performance based and it means that there are not going to be any multiple choise MSCE* kinds of questions. Everything will be based on your EXPERIENCE. Do yourself a favor, buy any kind of RedHat bible and brake your servers / networks so many times as humanly possible, then you'll be ready to take the exam. This book is good as any other Linux Bible books.

Good info...horrible questions

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2003

The information presented is clear and understandable...however...the test questions he has are some of the worst I have ever heard. They are vague and contradictory. The information presented is clear and understandable, however, the test questions he has are some of the worst I have ever seen. They are both vague and contradictory. He tries to trick you with some questions but all he does is confuse you as to why he worded the question that way given the answer.
Outside of the bad questions, the book is excellent for use as a study guide or for reference! I suggest you purchase this book if you are planning on taking the RHCE or even if you are not. It is a great guide for Linux users and administrators. Find another book for practice tests and questions, but get this one to study with.

A must have for the RHCE Exam and good reference

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2004

My review is long overdue, But I felt this is needed since I'm now RHCE and people are asking me what I used to pass it. I just read this book plus used two old computers and viola...I passed. Just make sure you practice the sample exams at the end. Or better yet, get somebody to break your installation using the intruction from the book and you go fix it. The only reason I give it a 4 star is because it referred to RH 8 and the exam was version 9 which just came out when I took it. I'm sure the latest version would be a lot better. I still use this book from time to time as a reference.

Good book, shame about the proofreading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 19, 2003

Verified Purchase

Although I'm an experienced Unix systems administrator I bought this book to guide me through the nuances of Red Hat Linux (of which there are many) in preparation for the RHCE exam. Although the tone of the book aims it at people coming from a Microsoft background, this doesn't stop it being useful to more seasoned Unix folk.
The style is relaxed and informal, and while this makes the book very readable it can also lead to confusion, with seemingly unrelated topics following on from one another (we jump from mount options to RPM management to run levels in sequential subsections). This is not a major problem, however, as the subsections themselves are succinct and don't go into too much detail where it isn't required.
The main area that lets this book down is quality control. I wouldn't be surprised if the closest this book has come to a proofreader is a cursory spell-check. Picture captions are transposed and duplicated, incorrect commands are given as examples, filenames are mangled and all sorts of other errors are spread throughout the book. This is *unforgivable* in a text designed to put people through an exam, and for this reason alone I would recommend RHCE hopefuls to consider other options before buying a copy.
