How many RHCE's?

[cybrjackle]

I've been thinking about doing this for sometime, either RHCE &/or RHCT <--1st

I work in the field and just wondering how many people have it and what you thought of the test?

hi cybrjackle

i've made the RHCT exam. now i'm studying for the RHCE. my opinion is that's its a real test not just learning theory. its a real good challenge to get certified.

I also have the RHCT. I got it just 2 weeks ago!

The test was edit: DISCLOSED :p . I have been using Fedora Core 2 all the way up to 4 and also RHEL so I have already knew everything (edit: objective wise). I plan the RHCE in November or December, I am just trying to build up on my networking skills.

Also, I am the youngest RHCT and soon RHCE (my friend holds RHCE at age 14) and I am 13. This is not surprising however, because people in my training class were all over 30, but they all had previous Unix exp. None of them passed, but technology changes every 5 minutes. By the time I am 20, there will be something similar to Red Hat that will dominate.

Anyways, RHCE is just RHCT + networking skills + more advanced system administration. If you work with RHEL 4 or Fedora Core 3 a lot, you should do fine. Also you might be interested in taking the RH300 course, it will help you refine on your skills.

For the love of FedoraForum.org, I'll give you my $200 discount code. It works on all Red Hat training courses. Code: 8203

If I can do it, you can do it! I only have 5 months of complete Red Hat/Fedora use.

Good luck!

The test was extremely easy. I have been using Fedora Core 2 all the way up to 4 and also RHEL so I have already known everything. I plan the RHCE in November or December, I am just trying to build up on my networking skills.

How did you get the money to pay for all your stuff? Running Server 2003 and Enterprise Linux, getting your various computers, and paying to get certified must have cost quite a bit.

Well, I actually sold my copy of Windows Enterprise Server 2003 x86_64 on eBay for $305 (it was well worth it). For the Red Hat Enterprise Linux... I have my ways. ;)

For all the training costs, I can't explain how much I paid for my course, but I can say that my dad's the owner of a very popular system building company here in California, and he has a lot of friends that work for various companies (not going to name any). Well actually, I am trying to get a discount right now because I don't get paid to go to school, you know? :D

And the computers, come natural. Every here and then, he might just "get" a system and he just gives it to me because it is used and not needed.

I usually just have 4 computers. One production desktop for all my homework, a traveling laptop for mobility, a server (for production use, not hosting a website), and another desktop to just play around. I currently have FreeBSD on the computer that I just play around with, I always like to try something new every here and then.

Also, most people have the training costs of Red Hat courses paid by their boss.
