I want advice regarding the rhce exam-

RHCE is the first REAL TIME certification , so u need LAB practice

Good coaching center would be the best option

Try to learn the CCNA first !

I think you should first do a CCNA certification. It is very valuable for network admins. So get a good institute providing live training with cisco labs. Remember, live training will cst much more than normal teaching. So choose good institutes for your training.

Hi ! I'm interested in computer security too. Can someone brief me about the various fields in it, cuz it's itself a very broad term ?

Thumbs down Re: Career in Computer Security.

HI vivek
Yes you are right computer field is very broad field which has many postings and many obstacles in it and there are fields such as
1.software line,
2.Hardware & networkinng

In software field you can be a programmer in
c,c++,java,html,web page designer,etc
In hardware &networking you can be a ethical hacker,system admin,security assistant,etc
for your field that is for security you should learn some certifications like MCSE,CCNA,RHCE,Ethical hacking etc
