First off, let Red Hat _clarify_ their certification plans before moving on. All they have seemingly done is clarify their re-certification of existing RHCT/RHCEs at this point. > There is no way in hell that I can afford any of the RHES offerings for > home use, there's no way in hell that my boss will allow me to mess with > the RHES AS server that we have up, as it's a production machine. Secondly, you _can_ (or at least could previously) get RHEL AS as a low-cost (sub-$100?) "developer" subscription. It's not guaranteed (let alone supported) as the full version, but it _does_ give you a "developer" version -- something you could run athome. Third, you can always build from SRPMs as well. There are various HOWTOs available. Red Hat _does_ give you the tools to do it too. > So, if RHCE won't correlate to Fedora, then there's really no point > in my spending my money. Lastly, might I suggest LPI to _augment_ your Red Hat certification? This is not a LPI v. Red Hat statement, just that it can't hurt to get both. LPI is big in Japan and Germany, the US being #3 in LPI certifications, and there are only 69 LPIC-2 certified individuals in the US. -- Bryan "TheBS" Smith RHCE9, LPIC-2, Linux+ -- Bryan J.
