I agree. I took the RH300 course when the current product was RHL 7.2. I
passed the all-day test on Friday, but just barely.

Today their RHEL "current product" has four flavors (AS, ES, WS,
Desktop). All are still based on the 2.4 kernel, but that will change
with the release of the all new RHEL4 with a 2.6 kernel and SELinux in
early 2005.

Anybody who's not living with RHEL on an everyday hands-on basis will
have very little chance passing today's exams, and no hope in hell of
passing the RHEL4 exams next spring. You'd be wasting your time and
money trying.

Go ahead and buy the books, but if you're seriously considering getting
an RHCE anytime in the foreseeable future, I'd strongly recommend you
scrape together the $2500 fee for the RH300 course. For their Jan-Sep
2005 schedule, see https://www.redhat.com/apps/training/?start=20.

There's one in Atlanta from Jan 31 - Feb 4.  But if you can see your way
clear to taking it instead in Raleigh, NC from Jan 24-28, I'd encourage
you to do it there. That way you'd get to meet lots of the folks you've
come to know only by name on the fedora and taroon mail lists.
