Summary: An Excellent Primer for the RHCE Exam
Comment: I've passed the RHEL3 and RHEL5 versions of the RHCE exam using the fourth and fifth editions of this book respectively as my primary study resource.
My only criticisms are minor: it may have been the edition of RHEL that I was using (5.1) but it seemed to me that the section on SAMBA was slightly out of date, in particular around the storage of passwords using smbpasswd. I also felt that more examples of the use of iptables would have been beneficial.
The coverage of possible exam topics is comprehensive and the book is well-structured and the subject matter clearly presented. The "two-minute drills" and lab exercises come in very handy as last-minute refreshers.
Overall, this is an excellent resource for anyone taking the RHCE exam from a very accomplished technical author.

Summary: Don't be so picky
Comment: Ok, yes, this book is old, but, lets face it, the exam itself ain't changed THAT much, only now, it's all practical, no questions asked.
Red Hat ain't changed much, it's still the same old kernal base, same old BASH shell, same old driver issues and the same troubleshooting crap.
I'm gonna buy this book now, I will update this post soon as i have had a good read through it. Anyway i see no other books on this subject, do you?

Summary: Maybe good for the cert but it omits important concepts
Comment: Generally, it is a good review of what you need to know, in order to pass the RHCT/RHCE exams. However, from an editor's point of view I am not impressed considering a number of typos of minor importance (such as for example the link for the Distributed Intrusion Detection System on page 274) to serious omissions and mistakes.
One of the most serious omissions IMHO lies in the discussion of quota controls (pages 290-301). It goes all the way to set the quotas and mentions the function of quotacheck, but where is the 'quotaon' command to enforce the quotas and allow the quota protection? Both the text of the 'Setting Up and Managing Disk Quotas' section as well as exercise 6-3 do not explain that quotaon needs to be issued. The main text mentions that the command is run by /etc/rc.sysinit, but if someone makes changes without rebooting the system and follows Exercise 6-3, then he could easily miss the importance.
I am also unclear about the accuracy of the IPv6 Addressing section (pages 39 and 40). I appreciate that this is not a networking primer book, but they should discuss also 'anycast' addresses (not only Unicast and Multicast) and clear/correct the confusion between Link Local and 'Site Local' address portions. I am not sure how this would impact the candidate (probably it won't), but for the purposes of accuracy things should be written in a better way.
I would give the author thumbs up! Thumbs down to the editors and proof readers of the publishing company. They rushed the book to the market. Everybody does that, but they have really left too many bits that need fixing.

Summary: Just passed
Comment: I just passed the RHCE exam, thanks to this book and the RH300 course. It is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Old Book
Comment: This book is near 3 yers old (30 April 2004) The other reviews here are nearly 2 years old. How relevant this is to the current exam is not known. Book definately feels old with references to Fedora 1 when now its Fedora 6. If I had seen it covers RHEL 3 together with the fact that it is 3 years old I dont think I would have bought it.
