RHCE exam prep advice

[Jared Johnson]

Mr. 100%, 

I applaud your high scores, but I have to take issue with this small matter.
How does having training from Red Hat "make the course easier?" That's
just... too funny to think about. Of COURSE it makes it easier, it's
training. Why would anyone go to training if it didn't help them pass the
exam? That's the sole purpose of the training material and the classroom
instruction. The ONLY reason Red Hat doesn't want the material "shared" as
you stated, (but it would be better to see proof of that), is because they
want to make money, money, money. Remember, they charge thousands of dollars
for that material. 

That means anyone with a few thousand dollars can get the material. 

Doesn't that just sound... wrong?

Simple matter of who has more green bucks in their pocket.

OK, this really is the last posting since I'm home and can actually read 
the relevant section in the training manual - page 2 in the 
introduction.  There are other pieces on that page that I'm not going to 
bother quoting.

"This curriculum contains proprietary informatino which is for the 
exlusive use of customer of Red Hat, Inc., and is not to be shared with 
personnel other than those in attendance at this course."

"For use only by a student enrolled in a Red Hat training course taught 
by Red Hat, Inc., or a Red Hat Training Partner.  Any other use is a 
violation of U.S. and international copyrights."

RHCEs who share training materials that make it easier for everybody 
else cheapen the value of the certification for the rest of us.  We do 
NOT want "paper" RHCEs like there are for other certifications.  The 
exam is supposed to be hard - this increases its value.  I can be proud 
of my 100% marks knowing that most of you aren't capable of duplicating 
it (and I realize that some of you are capable of earning the RHCE but 
don't have the opportunity to take the exam).
