RHCE Red Hat Certified Engineer Study Guide Exam RH302 (With CD-ROM)

Rating:
Summary: Last Minute Preparation
Review: I got this book to prepare myself before RedHatCertifiedEngineer. I found that this guide makes me feel that I'm not yet ready to take the exam. At least there is something to rate my RedHat Linux skills since I learn it myself

Summary: not updated and with a CD for win only!
Review: the book is useful, but it covers up to redhat 6.2. From the 7.x series many things have been changed (xinetd, kernel 2.4, iptables, directories ecc ecc). It should be necessary an update to cover the 7.1 version. What I found very disappointing is the CDROM with flash animation working ONLY in a windows environment. Don't expect to learn Linux from this book only: it's useful for the exam preparation.

Summary: Useless CD
Review: The much-vaunted CD with the electronic version of the book can be used only under Windows. The only place this is mentioned is in a README file on the CD, which can only be viewed once you have bought the book. The primary reason I got this book was for the CD and as my laptop does not run Windows, I have wasted my money. Don't make the same mistake I did!

Rating:
Summary: Outdated
Review: This book is out dated. It is based on Red Hat version 6.2. There have been many changes since then that could frustrate the reader who is trying to follow the examples in the book. If you are still using an older version of Red Hat, this is definetly a good reference, otherwise, wait for the second edition!
