Worth The Wait!

April 1, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

While waiting for this book I had the opportunity to try and use a number of the other RHEL7 RHCE guides and found them all rather disappointing. This author's RHEL6 guide was the one I made the most use of when studying for my RHCE, and this guide looks like it's of the same high quality. I don't envy him the task of learning all the changes in RHEL7 and incorporating them into this new book! It looks like he hit most of them.

I was a bit annoyed that he hand-waves past one of the biggest RHEL7 changes-- network interface naming. He notes that one can configure a network interface to be called 'eth0' and then proceeds to use minimally changed examples from RHEL6. I would have liked to have seen more of a RHEL7-ish way of doing things rather than a quick and dirty "keep it like RHEL6" approach, but I also understand that if we waited for this book to be perfect, RHEL8 probably would already be released before the "perfect" book would be.

I've also had trouble finding the online errata. The site they list for downloads and errata doesn't seem to know this book exists yet. Maybe it's still too new.

Don't Believe the 5 Star Reviews

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you are looking for a book to guide you through clear objectives then this book is NOT for you. I had a very hard time following the objectives because the book jumps around so much. I downloaded the Pearson Hands On Guide and it clearly explains what you need and what you are going to achieve in each chapter. If you buy this book you will spend as much if not more time trying to figure out what the author is referring to when he says "if you did exercise 1 correctly 3 chapters ago then....". It is extremely frustrating and not worth your time IMO. Good riddance...

And this is why you NEVER BUY an ebook

June 21, 2012

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Simply put, where is my DVD with the practise exams?

The ISBN number provided by Amazon is incorrect, and I cannot get the DVD downloaded. The sad irony is that I write my exam in a few hours, and I wanted to practise the exam before I wrote. Thanks for nothing!

Extremely disappointed!

October 11, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have had this book for some time, and I am a general user of Linux. I am working on this certification for my job. I followed along word for word and did everything hands-on through the book, but the writers direction is all over the place. You originally set up a RH6 (or other equivalent) with 12GB of HD space, but then you start into creating a VM in chapter 2 in that above host machine, and he wants that to be 12GB HD as well. Of course that didn't go well. If you are looking for directions, SKIP THIS BOOK. This book has plenty of information, but it seems like it was poorly organized and put together. I would NOT recommend this book. Sorry, I really hate putting out bad reviews but I am extremely frustrated with this book.

I am another person dissatisfied with the fact that I can't figure out how to download the CD for the ebook version. It seems clear it is included. I am incredibly frustrated and I don't want to have to order the paperback version.

Lots of good, lots of bad

November 11, 2011

Format: Paperback

The author is strong in some areas and noticeably weak in others. The book has been poorly edited and tends to be repetitive.

That is the quick review now the meat:

The first stage of the book for the RHCSA exams is mostly good. It is very unclear regarding LVM, apparently you can create volume groups from a logical volume...? The author seems to have a good grasp of using SELinux but doesn't do a good job of explaining the concepts. For both LVM and SELinux I had to read other sources to understand them.

The second part of the book for the RHCE exams is frustrating. The author doesn't seem to understand the services so much as know how to get them to work. There are lots of places where he simply dumps out lines from a configuration file and glosses over what they are actually doing. He fills the pages with tables of parameters you probably won't need and refers to /usr/share/doc for more detailed explanations of things he didn't explain very well.

If this were a new exam (RHCE) or new book I would not feel so frustrated, but this is edition 6. At this stage the author should have taken the time to master these services well enough to write a clear, practical teaching guide to them.

There are definitely issues with the editing too, especially noticeable in the exercises. I'm guessing there was a rush to be first to market.

On a more positive note 75% of the book is good and accurate, if you can live with doing your own research on several of the more advanced topics this could be the book for you.

Obsolete subject matter _for new RH Certifications_ but still highly relevant for 6.X installations everywhere

May 18, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Red Hat is no longer certifying for this 6th Edition (same as RHEL 6.X); wait for the 7th (7.X) out in November.
UPDATE: The thread from Daemon of Chaos and Rick Chatham has revealed that it's not that simple; read it please, rather than having me paraphrase.
