This book is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL 6) and it covers three main objectives: a resource for administrators who intend to take the new Red Hat Certified System Administrator (EX200) and the Red Hat Certified Engineer (EX300) exams and pass them; a quick and valuable on-the-job resource; and an easy-to-understand guide to novice and non-RHEL administrators. This book is divided into RHCSA and RHCE sections based on the exam objectives.

About this title

From the Author:

This is the second edition of my book on Red Hat intermediate and advanced system administration topics and it is updated to the 6th version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I have provided coverage of all the official objectives for both the EX200 and EX300 exams listed on Red Hat's certification website for RHCSA and RHCE. I have also included the step-by-step instructions at the outset on how to install RHEL 6 followed by a detailed review of Linux basics in the next few chapters to lay the foundation for advanced topics. Throughout the writing process, I have tested the commands and scripts presented on RHEL 6.3 running in a virtual environment, and have added tons of exercises, labs, and review questions to reinforce the reading. My emphasis in the book is more on the practical aspect to align with the nature of the Red Hat exams, which are 100% hands-on. I recommend that you have a couple of virtual machines running RHEL 6 by your side while you study this book.

Don't forget to write an honest review to let me and other potential buyers of this book know of what you think about this endeavor.

Good luck!!!
