[sf-lug] RedHat certification study group

[vincent polite]

Hi Jim,
  I can clear some space off my old laptop, and we can start from scratch  with a fresh install? I need to keep some things on there. A dual boot?

RHCE by michael Jang, Osborne press

    I've got the fourth edition (a good sign),
which covers RHEL 3. Current  shipping
version is RHEL 4, and 5 is due out soon.
The tests (and classes) lag the release
by a few months.
    I recommend getting the outline from
the RH training site and using RH docs
(available online) as well as various
other sources (which we can nail down
in the next few weeks).
