 Excellent September 11, 2008
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!!! August 30, 2008
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, ACLs, etc.; you will need other sources for in-depth information like the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation and Deployment Guides from Redhat, Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 Administration Unleashed, and the various O'Reilly books. Read the RHCE Prep Guide and understand what they want, and you will, along with this book, pass the test.
It gives you all you need to pass the exam May 3, 2008

I found this book very helpful in preparation for RHCE. It is really easy to pass the test if you follow the book carefully.
Good book, except some mistakes and poor coverage of some topics April 27, 2008

This book is quite good for RHCT.
For RHCE - I found that it doesn't explain well following topics :
1) squid and especially acl for squid
2) bind chapter is just a bunch of text, I could not understand anything out of this chapter. Had to take book on Fedora Core 6 which explained step by step how to setup bind.
3) sendmail. It has only basic stuff, again book on Fedora Core 6 has much better explanation.
4) Some of the stuff on LVM is not accurate in the book (for instance, you can resize volume without need to reformat it, just use resize2fs). I suggest to read LVM howto as a substitute for this chapter.
Overall this book is OK, but I would say that alone it's not enough to pass RHCE.
Download Installation guide & Deployment guide from Red Hat and whenever read this book also reference those 2 docs.
