[GRLUG] Studying for the RHCE exam

[Szymon Machajewski]

I've taken both RHCT and RHCE on 3 and 4 versions.
I would strongly suggest knowing the grub.conf, inittab config files. 
Each line, field, what they do.

Most likely you will start with the box not booting.  So knowing the
boot loader will help to give you confidence for the rest of the test.
For RHCE make sure to review config files for apache, squid, dhcp, RAID
(software).  Make sure to be comfortable with man pages.  You will have
those available.

The sytem is usually broken through config, so make sure that you don't
break it for good by fixing the wrong thing.  don't touch fdisk unless
you have to ..

Talking about specific questions or tasks is forbidden by the AUA they
have you sign.  Overall, take your time.  There is enough time to double
think your tasks.

Sincerely,

There have been various threads on the RHEL3 (taroon) and RHEL4
(nahant)
mailing lists over the last couple years about the RHCE.   Some
extensive searching on those lists will provide you with a lot of
knowledge of both the RHCE and of RHEL[34].
