Yes, I took the RHCE exam about 18 months ago. I also took the class, mostly because it got paid for. I don't think things have changed a lot other than being based on more recent RedHat releases. You might want to just browse through one of the preparation books so you have some idea of the kind of questions on the written exam (which should be really easy for you, actually). The practical part where they break systems and you have to make them work was REALLY easy for me, but very difficult for most of the people who had never seen a Linux or UNIX box before the class. If you're accustomed to setting up web servers and virtual domains and some IPCHAINS rules you should find the last part of the exam pretty easy. If you've done a lot of administrative work on Redhat Linux I expect you'll do fine. Bob Tanner wrote: > Quoting Eric Stanley (barnabas at knicknack.net): > >>Anyone on the list taken the RHCE test?
