i can't disagree, though i don't want to... heh. rhce is pretty easy as
long as you pay attention, take notes, and remember that the instructor is
telling you 90% of the test... i know several highly experienced ninja
sysadmins who had trouble because they didn't pay attention, thought they
were above the course. you don't pay attention and you don't learn the
x-window troubleshooting.
and alot of it is intuitive troubleshooting, and having pretty solid
knowlege of the o/s before you go in. it's not for beginners. at least 2
years of linux/unix knowlege is required before you go in.
really, after taking the course i feel that all i really got was a $2,500
book that lycos paid for.
also, there are tons of lpi books out there, amazon has oreily's for 25
bucks or so.
