performance monitoring and tuning class recommendations?

[Sutton, Harry (MSE)]

Hi Tim,

The RH442 Red Hat class is part of the RHCA (Red Hat Certified 
Architect) track; I found it to be a very good overview of performance 
tuning in general, and of tuning RHEL specifically. There are also a 
number of good texts on the subject, including the two described in the 
Linux Journal article at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8516.

Best regards,

    /Harry Sutton, RHCA
