Get the book that shows you not only what to study, but how to study. The only classroom-based integrated study system for professional certification gives you complete coverage of all objectives for the Red Hat Certified Linux Engineer exam, hundreds of review questions, and hands-on lab exercises. The CD-ROM features two complete pencil and paper RHCE practice exams (available to Linux users), an electronic book, and a bonus Red Hat installation screen review.

The book has more information than I thought. It is well-written and has a lot questions to test your level of knowledge of the subject. To make better use of it as the author specified in the book, grab some old pcs and have somebody setup the environments for you to practice the labs. The more you practice the lab, the more the confidence increases. I will definitely recommend this book. I will come back to update my review when I take the test.

I bought this book one year ago.It took me a month to read everything and practice the main points and then...I've got RHCE from the first attempt without any pressure and great confidence. All my collegues refused to read this book and all of them are taking this exam third time without any
success.
Thanx to Michael I am an owner of RHCE

I used this book in addition to RedHat's instructor led training, and managed to pass the test on my first try with a score of over 90%!

Having been in a management position for a while I was a bit rusty and felt I didn't have the current hands on experience required to sit this exam directly. I used this book as prep for the 4 day Red Hat Boot camp leading up to the RHCE exam. It covered the topics required for the exam quite well, despite some obvious typos (Whatever you read, you should read critically anyway. IMHO)
The book helped me familiarise myself with the syntax and tools required to pass the exam (Which I did with 100% on the second sitting - told you I was rusty).
Note, that it is written for RHEL 3. There a quite a few changes for RHEL 4 so I wouldn't recommend this book unless it has been appropriately updated for the most current distribution.
I think the best reference anyone can give is to answer a single, very simple question: If I had my time over, would I still have bought this book... "YES I definately would" (just make sure it's current)

I wish I could say I had finished the book and passed the RHCE, but I am still a month or two away. Still, I have advanced my Linux knowledge significantly and am having a blast. Of the 6 or so Linux books I own, this is the best and should have been the first. If you are thinking about taking the RHCE or are just wanting to make Linux admin easier and/or more straightforward, then this book is a must have.
