3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but far from perfect Jun 1 2011
Format:Hardcover
Good news:
- It is the only book I found on amazon.ca that covers RHEL6 at this time
- Short, concise
- Not too expensive

Bad news:
- Many typos or copy/paste errors. I thought about reporting, but there are too many.
- Too much emphasis on SELinux and iptables rules (I agree that you must add iptables rules and configure SELinux when you enable a new service, but, it could be said once, not repeated at each service).
- Could benefit from some advice about the exam experience itself (make sure you are on time, don't get to the exam without enough sleep, etc).

I can't recommend buying this book unless you're in a hurry. I would sugest to wait so that another book would be published and cover RHEL6 soon.

1.0 out of 5 stars Missed several exam objectives Aug 12 2011
By M Srinivasan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Used Linux for few years, and want prep for the RHCSA and RHCE exams. I study exam objectives from Red Hat, and read book. Yes, I see exam objectives on start of chapters. But several exam objectives not covered inside chapter. I quote exam objectives from Red Hat.

I read whole book, and searched e-book, so I think book missing coverage of all these objectives.

1) Can't find 2>, star, bzip2 commands. I know these commands already, so I forgive these missing objectives. But Red Hat thinks important enough to have in exam objectives.

2) Red Hat objective: "Locate, read and use system documentation including man, info, and files in /usr/share/doc [Note: Red Hat may use applications during the exam that are not included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux for the purpose of evaluating candidate's abilities to meet this objective.]"
Red Hat gives special warning on this, so I think it extra important for exam. But not in book.

3) "Use single-user mode to gain access to a system"
Listed at start of Chapter 2. Search shows single user mode in Chapter 21 (I search e-book). But nothing in book to get single-user mode, just "appending the command line during boot". Which command line? Where is prompt during boot? Grub or bash?

4) "Modify the system bootloader"
GRUB is system bootloader. I see no example of change to GRUB config file in book.

5) "Configure a system to authenticate using Kerberos"
No words to configure Kerberos client, only "You should also practice connecting a client with Kerberos authentication as well as shadow passwords." Not enough. Where is krb5.conf in book? Important for Kerberos client.

6) "Configure a system as an iSCSI initiator that persistently mounts an iSCSI target"
Not in book.

7) "Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems as virtual guests"
Not in book, unless Virtualbox on exam. Virtualbox is Oracle product.

8) "Configure systems to launch virtual machines on boot"
Not in book.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is a disappointment. Jun 8 2011
By N.K. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The text and the labs have an incoherent relationship. Labs have tasks not covered in the chapter and no references are provided for where the lab specific task or knowledge may be obtained. This book is a disappointment.
