Re: [PLUG] RHCE Course Questions
|
I am also interested in taking the RHCE exam. I have been a sys admin
for 12 years and have used just about every version of Unix/Linux.
Could anyone give me some advice on how to prep for this exam? What is
the hands on part of the exam like? Do they allow you to use man pages?
Do you need to install anything via up2date? I am used to just going in
by the seat of my pants and installing whatever is needed and
configuring it from past experience. There are times when I forget the
small differences between FC, Ubuntu, Centos, Solaris, knoppix, and use
the man pages for a quick reference, is that frowned upon?
What do they ask you to perform and what is the criterion that is used
to grade you? Is how quickly you perform a task, how many times it takes
to get the config file correct, if you configure the supporting apps
like opening a firewall port for ftp, whether or not your checking the
permissions on each file after you edit them?
Thanks,
Mark
