This book is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5) and is intended for individuals who plan to take the new Red Hat® Certified Technician (RH202) and/or Red Hat® Certified Engineer (RH302) exams and pass them, want to use it as a quick on-the-job resource or like to learn RHEL from the beginning in an easy-to-understand way. The book has 31 chapters and facilitates readers to grasp concepts, understand implementation procedures, learn command syntax, configuration files and daemons involved, and comprehend troubleshooting. The chapters are divided into four areas: Linux Essentials, RHEL System Administration, RHEL Network and Security Administration, and RHEL Troubleshooting. 01. Linux Essentials (Chapters 1 to 7) covers the basics of Linux. Information provided includes general Linux concepts, basic commands, file manipulation and file security techniques, text file editors, shell features, basic shell and awk programming and other essential topics. These chapters are good for gaining an overall understanding of Linux and cover common skills useful for both exams. 02. RHEL System Administration (Chapters 8 to 19) covers system administration concepts and topics including hardware management, local installation, X Window and desktop managers, software and user/group account administration, disk partitioning using standard, RAID and LVM, file system and swap management, system shutdown and boot procedures, kernel management, backup, restore and compression functions, print services administration, and automation and system logging. These chapters cover objectives outlined for the RH202 exam. 03. RHEL Network and Security Administration (Chapters 20 to 30) covers network and security administration concepts and topics such as OSI and TCP/IP reference models, subnetting and IP aliasing, network interface administration, routing, basic network testing and troubleshooting tools, naming services (DNS, NIS, LDAP) and DHCP; Internet services and electronic mail management, time synchronization with NTP, resource sharing with NFS, AutoFS and Samba, network-based and hands-free automated installation, Apache web server and Squid caching/proxy server, secure shell, PAM, TCP Wrappers, IPTables, NATting, SELinux and recommendations for system hardening. These chapters cover objectives set for the RH302 exam. 04. RHEL Troubleshooting (Chapter 31) covers a number of sample system, network and security troubleshooting scenarios. This chapter covers objectives related to diagnoses and troubleshooting for both exams. The book covers ALL official exam objectives and includes several exercises for exam practice. This book is not a replacement for RHCT®/RHCE® training courses offered by Red Hat, Inc., but may be used to prepare for both the exams. The information contained in this book is not endorsed by Red Hat, Inc. Good Luck on the exams .........

I work with Linux every day in the workplace and am in the process of studying for the RHCT exam. A class was offered in-house on RHEL and I enrolled. As part of the class, we all received a copy of this book. I have only one complaint with the book, but otherwise I am very pleased with it.

This is not a comprehensive does-it-all book that will teach everything there is to know - it is a study guide designed to help the reader prepare for the RHCT and RHCE exams, and it is also a reference guide. In these roles, it is very sufficient. Material is laid out in a very clear and straighforward manner, accessible to most readers needing to gain quick knowledge. It does skimp on some details here and there and there are some holes in the knowledge base, but I think most users will be very pleased with this manual. The important thing to remember here is that it is very detailed, not comprehensive.

I appreciate the basic flow between chapters, which seem to be geared to a generalized intro to Linux much like most programming books teach various topics in a logical order for mastery. While this works great for teaching for general knowledge, it is not an optimal flow for the exams. Using the Jang book as a guide, which places the material covered for the RHCT in the first 8 chapters, this book jumps about a bit and makes separation of the two exam targets a lot more difficult. Keep this in mind if you are pursuing the RHCT.

My biggest complaint with this book is the frequent errors in grammar and verb tense. The editing on this book could have been tighter.

As a reference and study guide, this is a very good resource and will serve the reader well. It is not perfect but is a fine choice for those gearing up for the RHCE in particular and makes a superb reference manual.

Simply the best RHCE book...without any comparations.

I've worked with Linux since 1994 and I've already seen a lot of books about Linux and some focused in
RHCE test. All of them are good books, but are very superficial stuff.

This book from Asghar Ghori is a very complete book directed to any people who need learn Linux, Red Hat Linux
in particular, and was so well written.Ghori knows exactly how hard is doing the RHCE test and he created a detailed book.

There are 31 chapter inside the book and all of them are enough to pass the exam. I'm right that even someone knows
very well Linux could learn a little with this material. Pay attention in the last chapter: the author show some
troubleshooting problems the you could see in the exam.

Follow the chapters:

1) Overview
2) Files and Directories
3) File and Directory Permissions
4) Text Editors and Processors
5) The Shells
6) Basic Shell Scripting
7) System Processes
8) System Administration and Hardware
9) Installation
10) X Window System and Desktop Managers
11) Software Package Management
12) Users and Groups
13) Disk Partitioning
14) File Systems and Swap
15) Shutdown and Reboot
16) Linux Kernel
17) Backup, Restore and Compression
18) Print Services
19) Job Scheduling and System Logging
20) Basic Networking
21) Network Interface Administration and Routing
22) DNS and DHCP
23) NIS and LDAP
24) Internet Services and Electronic Mail
25) Network Time Protocol
26) NFS and AutoFS
27) Samba
28) Network Installation
29) Web and Caching Proxy Servers
30) System and Network Security
31) System, Network and Security Troubleshooting

I hope I've helped. Good luck for all in the RHCE test.

Falls Way Short

I'm an experienced UNIX administrator (20 years) and have taught UNIX to entry level administrators, have written lesson plans and have mentored mid level admins. I got this book to help prepare for a RH certification. With a background in UNIX already, I figured I could pick up what I need very quickly. The book was rated high on Amazon's list, but honestly I don't know why. The table of contents looks to be exactly what is needed, and is what appealed to me. And there is some good content, but you have to be able to fill in a lot of blanks missing and figure the rest on your own. It's not a book for beginners, although the first few chapters lead you to believe it is. The reason why is that advanced topics or utilities are used without explaination when covering other topics. For example, when installing RHEL, "if you want to make this a DNS server, DHCP, or other network device, then choose the appropriate options" but there's no mention of why you would or would not want to use them.

Some very basic English fundamentals are missing. New words like "Configurator" are introduced and used liberally. It sounds like George Bush! I don't "configurate" software, I configure it. The proper term is "Configuration Utility or Tool or GUI", but not "configurator". Also, in referring to issuing commands, the language is "do an ls/cat and see the results". Also poor English. It looks like some very basic editing mistakes were made. There is another section discussing how to run the X graphical utilities. He gives commands on setting it manually, and then says, "or you can run the admin utility", then takes the next few pages to explain the utility, but never says how to bring up the utility!

I'm only about 1/3 through the book, but as I read, seeing past errors which should have easily been caught by editors are making it difficult. Its about $40, but I believe there's got to be another book out there worth the $40. I'm going to continue to use it (I can't afford another book), but I'm disappointed with it for sure.

You could forgive the strange grammatical errors if this book were technically superb but alas, speaking as a Unix veteran I don't think it is. There are a lot of missed opportunities to explain the whys and wherefores here . I'm not sure if it's in an attempt to be concise or just to bang out another Linux book in short time ?
Some of the explanations ( SGID bit for example) are simply too wishy washy, almost as if the author does not fully understand or can't describe it, or simply needs to re-work it ! ( perhaps a problem with the proof reading ?)

If you know Unix and want to learn Red Hat ( like me ) then it's probably not a bad book.

The ultimate red hat book...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2014

I'm a student who needs to pull a First class in my Red Hat class. This book looks like it has that covered. This book is actually intended to help people who are studying for the RHCT and RHCE exams, however, it's useful for anybody doing any kind of red hat. The book starts out with basic command line, such as changing directories (CD) and making folders. Soon enough, you'll find yourself piping to grep, sorting stuff you've piped, sorting by size, date - you name it. This book treats you as a beginner (without insulting you whatsoever) and takes you to a very high standard. I have no fears about my future exams, this book is WELL worth the money. You really will be happy if you make this purchase.
