Hey dude today i did my red hat certification exam ,,,

[Baker]

then suggest me some good institute in bangalore

[MetalheadGautham]

Training institute ? Why don't you study yourself ? The material is freely available online.
Install the latest version of CentOS to start with. http://www.centos.org/
Only the exam costs 20K to write.

[Baker]

what is CentOS... can u explain ....

exam fee for RHCE is 20k......

[MetalheadGautham]

Red Hat Certified Engineer examination is an exam conducted by Red Hat for linux administrators. Its exam cost is high. Only after you write the exam will you be given official certification.

If you ask me what is CentOS without reading the link, I seriously doubt you have the aptitude for RHCE.

Anyway, this wikipedia article will help you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centos

^You got it wrong! The tag "RHCE" is just like "IIM/IIT". We can study "ourselves" in the school/colleges too. Why "waste" a lot then in goin to skools and colleges? Let alone the after-skool/college tuitions.

wait till tom i ll post my certification number with my certificate

@mediator --> but the exam formalities are severe last time i rebooted on the exam with out knowing of the examiner he sent me out !! thats one hell , but i got an offer on the retake of exam for 2500/- , that i did it today

EXAM FEES for RHCe is --->Rs 12547/-

[mediator]

Yeah, they've always been severe. I gave RHCE just for phun around august last year. The instructor spoke like Raghu Ram of MTV roadiezz n I behaved like Vishal of splitsvilla. Just kiddin! Neways, Eye movements r forbidden n reboots require instructor's permission AFAIR. I wud only advise all the RHCE applicants to have orangina and tour the loo before the exam.

[damngoodman999]

Congratulations

How hard was it to write the exam ?

Isn't it a one-invigilator with one-examinee type test done on a computer ?

What portions did you have to study ?

Was there a lot of stuff about BASH scripting ?

Any link to the whole syllabus ?

How long did you have to study ? You were a newbie to linux before starting right ?

[damngoodman999]

offcourse i dint even seen the linux before entering in to RHCE , but the things are very easy in RHCT , but RHCE is full of servers - web servers , samba , squid(proxy) , mail server etc

no there are little bash only just changing root password and some trouble shooting

RHCE is full of servers , so i had downloaded the books from various sites but they never help , should know to handle with "CLIENT Server Architecture"

@ MetalheadGautham

there are lot of formalities by the entrance of the exam the exam fear will be one side but if we do anything to hardware or any hardware stucks the exam will be lost for us only but u can download model papers and u can use it

the books for RHCT is nearly get from many sites but for RHCE u should rely on the server platform rather than reading books

the invigilator is very very strict :: they dont even talk to us ... all they say is "get out , times up "

[MetalheadGautham]

Whats the difference between RHCT and RHCE ? Do I need to complete one to write the other ?

And was the exam time enough to complete the set of questions ?

What do you mean by troubleshooting in BASH ?

Are most operations graphical ?

Do you mean to say they test application using level skills more than OS-level skills ?

Was there anything about RPM/Yum ?

And do you think the time from June to July is enough for studying for this exam ? I want to get certified before entering collage

[damngoodman999]

Ya the yum installer & rpm are used but yesterday my mistake as thet told to use yum , but i used RPM for installing kernel so 5 marks reduced

RHCT- technician level which installing and system maintanence

RHCE - Engineering level which u used be able to deal with server and client -- package of servers

Exam time is 5 & half hours , morethan enough

bash is used when : fstab entries are modified and no rescue cd is need directly entering in to bash we can solve

no graphical is allowed ,, graphics should not be installed - but configuring NTP and cups we graphics that is on the RHCT part , RHCE fully command

no , application skills are needed -- i told u client / server part is full for RHCE

RHCE & RHCT are same both exam @ once includes 5 & 1/2 hrs , but there 2 & 1/2 hrs eligibility that if u pass then u r allowed to write the RHCT or RHCE there r 8 question there 4 goes for RHCT , another 4 goes for RHCE RHCE includes trouble shooting , the compulsary part is first 4 on RHCT if one goes wrong thats all no certificate

one month is enough , if u already worked on like linux servers not desktop , linux destop is varied frm linux servers , so practice with server and client

What are the apps you need to learn to use ? Can you give me a list ?
And I hope default install of CentOS 5.2 64-bit DVD has them all ?

U shud get a hang of system debugging, networking and permissions coz a mere acquaintance with this knowledge might end u up in giving the exam again. Its like creating a program in one go and pondering over for syntactical and logical errors before executing it i.e u shudn't be practising with the various cases of possiblities and solutions that might sprout up in ur mind if u hit the panick button during the exam. Also, there is a lot to be memorised both in terms of terminology and procedures, after all its an exam!

[MetalheadGautham]

@mediator: yeah I understand.

1. Debugging - I learnt to debug archlinux the hard way. Yesterday night when HAL got uninstalled and something else failed to load as a module. Hopefully I can catch up with CentOS too.

2. OS - damngoodman999 says I need to install Fedora. Wouldn't CentOS 5.2 do ?

3. Terminology and Prodedures - I have had enough of that. Bit unwanted sometimes, but I learnt to love it.

[mediator]

It really doesn't matter which OS you use as in the end you are trying to become "bond in *nix". But whicheva OS u use, I suggest you shud stick to it and not waste time in distro hoping, and perfecting your installing, uninstalling "eye candy, codec pack" kind of things again n again.

But yes, since its RHCE it wud be helpful if you use fedora or CENTOS. I never tried CentOS but IMO fedora is just perfect for practicing it out. U may check CentOS and give ur feedback though.

Also, don't undermine "terminology and procedures". The study material is perfect and u might learn a lot of things from it for your own practical use.

It consists of two parts : The Course and the Exam. Both have their own separate fee. So, If u really want to study it all, then I suggest you shud take the course, practice it and then give the exam any time u want.

[MetalheadGautham]

OK. Then what about the study material ? Where can I get it ?

[damngoodman999]

i ll give u 3 rd module -> by mail

1 & 2 module i ll ask with some one and give


the modules r notes

[mediator]

You have to go to RHCE center and apply for the course, of course!
U get 3 books and of course, an elegant Redhat cap + bag.

@damngoodman : Sharing the material and paper, AFAIK, can revoke ur certification number. So be cautious while sharing.

Whats the cost of the course ?

[mediator]

Rs. 12,000/- only!!

[damngoodman999]

[MetalheadGautham]

Wait a sec, I thought Rs. 12,000 was for examination fees ?
Does this 12000 include BOTH examination charges and course material charges ?

And till I buy it, what software do I learn ? You guys keep saying its about server maintaining and stuff like that, but WHAT do I actually do to practice before the exam other than learning to configure CentOS by commandline ?

To prep for the exam u need access to a machine having Redhat Enterprise linux Server OS connected to a LAN. The LAN may provide necessary Services (such as DHCP, DNS).
