Review"Certification Book of the Week: 'RHCSA/RHCE Red Hat Study Guide'
While it is crucial aim is to serve as a study guide, the book doubles evenly well as a reference ... All in all, it is a great book and one that any person working with RHEL 6 will want to have. "

Excellent Study Guide and Reference Manual
By Matthew K. Morgan
This is the sixth edition of Jang's Red Hat Linux Certification Study Guide, altho it has in former editions been known beneath more or less dissimilar titles due to the modify in Red Hat's test titles. With the transition to Red Hat Enterprise 6 and the introduction of Red Hat's RHCSA (Certified System Administrator) test, this book has undergone a substantial revision cycle.

First things initial - the book comes with a CD that holds a total of four exercise exams, two for the RHCSA exam and two for the RHCE exam. It also holds a full copy of the book, in PDF form, broken up in chapters. This is a huge gain for those that travel with a laptop or for those that wish to study without toting the book along. This CD alone is worth the cost of the book.

Startling is the edition of coverage of the KVM early into the book (chapter 2). According to Jang, the exam now is conducted through virtualization and as such one will have to have a heap of familiarity with the surroundings before taking the test. Being comparatively new to virtual operating scheme environments, this is very helpful material and is applicable to things that occur in the workplace when looking for ways to make the most of the hardware available.

As in former editions this books has a breakdown of what chapters cover each exam, and this table is covered early. For persons studying for the RHCSA exam, this makes it a little more comfortable to narrow down the scope of material. There are 17 chapters of study materials in this book, plus the exercise exams: Preparing for the RH Hands-On Certification, Virtual Machines and Automates Installations, Fundamental Command Line Skills, RHCSA-Level Security Options, The Boot Process, Linux Filesystem Administration, Package Management, User Administration, RHCSA-Level System Administration Tasks, A Security Primer, System Services and SELinux, RHCE Administrative Tasks, Electronic Mail Servers, The Apache Web Server, The Samba File Server, More File-Sharing Services, and at last Administrative Services: DNS, FTP, and Logging. Each of these chapters dives deep into the topic matter and offers up self-quiz questions and exercises to aid learn and/or master the material. With this coverage passing the exams are within reach.

This is not just an exam preparation manual, though. It is also a superb reference. It is not feasible to do not forget everything there is to recognise with regards to Linux and Red Hat in particular, but this book keeps everything close by and accessible - and the PDF version is valuable just for the searching capablenesses alone.

I keep this book close by. Previous versions of this book have helped a great deal of persons pass the RHCE and the RHCT (superceded by the new RHSCA) exams, and this books is suitable for doing the same for numerous more people. Even if you're not prepping for certification, consider picking up this book as it will be a very priceless reference.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It must be noted that this book does NOT cover configuration of the X Window system. According to Red Hat's published exam goals intended to be attained for RHEL 6 (as of summer 2011), X configuration is not required for passing the RHCSA or RHCE exams and as such this book does not include X coverage.

Above expecations
By Lethe
I'm a full time Linux Systems Engineer/Trainer who holds RHCE himself, I've been a huge fan of the former book which was my main tool of preparation (together with experience and other subject specific books) and was eagerly looking forward the altered version for RHEL 6.

Usually when a new product come out the related book is more a copy/modify/paste of the former version in this case Michael Jang has done a vast occupation of updating all the content from the former version while adding new stuff that lot of humans were looking for like how to build your own lab, basic configuration for the lab and lot of scenarios for practice.

In the past I've been writing my own scripts/labs and freeing them on my blog but when I took the book in my hand was astonished in a pleasant way! Jang made it again raising the bar of excellency for how a technical book ought to be written!

If you are preparing for RHCSA/RHCE don't wait anymore this is the one stop for your certification needs.

The perfective study guide for RHCSA / RHCE Exam, and a outstanding Desk Reference!
By Lynn Dixon
I purchased the former edition (5th Edition) of Mr. Jangs book to help me with the RHCSA exam at the basi of the year, and it was an splendid guide.
Upon seeing this most recent edition freed based upon RHEL6 I knew I had to have it
This new edition is even better than the 5th, and the author has done a tremendous occupation of organizing the content to make preparing for both the RHCSA and RHCE exams easy.
The introductory chapter helps you get various RHEL environments setup to be employed for practice, and they go nicely with the lab exercises Mr. Jang offers in the book. Then, chapters 2-9 helps new folks prepare for the RHCSA exam. You then move into the last chapters 10 - 17 to prepare for the RHCE exam. This was excellent!
Mr. Jang presents the material in an easy to comprehend format, and also offers explanations for what you are learning. He also gives outstanding snippings all around the book of how to use the material in real world situations, which I found to be most helpful.
I highly commend this book to any individual that is preparing for the RHCSA or RHCE exams. Read it, and then do the exercises and labs that he presents at the end of each chapter. This will prepare you for what to suppose on the exam, and you wont be stunned by any unknowns when you take the exam.
The book likewise makes for a GREAT desk reference. I keep my older 5th edition at my workplace since we are primarily a RHEL5 shop (which that edition was based from), and I keep my new 6 edition of the book at home as my own personal desk reference.
