Excellent:
This isn't a book for Linux beginners for sure but for those who have a bit of experience with Linux you'll hit the ground running. Some areas such as NIS server set up I wish it would go into and the first couple chapters seem like a waste of space since there is no depth, but the later content is A+. I give it a good recommendation to jump start your RHCE studies. Just don't forget to supplement with labs of your own afterwords!
Outstanding review for the test!!!:
I can say without a doubt that this book is what put me over the top in gaining my RHEL5 RHCE. Without divulging any details of the test, let me just say that for anyone who has administered RHEL in a production environment for a couple of years, the test isn't hard. It is mostly a test of your experience. This book gives you the guideline for everything you need to know to pass the test. This means that along with this book, those things you may not administer on an everyday basis like NIS, NFS,... more info
Great exam prep book and desk reference:
I plan to take the example later next year. Great resource overall. Would be nice if there is a soft copy on cd.
