RHCE is a performance-based evaluation, with a time limit ;-) If you can pass RHCE, not only do you know your stuff, you know it well enough to perform under pressure. Someone with 1-2 yrs of Linux sysadmin experience should be able to cope with the RHCE exam. Taking the RHxxx classes is _not_ a sufficient prerequisite for passing the exams because the exams are designed to answer the question "can you fix this immediately" instead of "can you figure this out". During the RHCE, you have online access to _all_ of the RH documentation. You just don't have time to look stuff up; it's got to be in your "working set". This is why RHCE is so well respected. Get one and you've had your baptism under fire. I've taught classes on troubleshooting but I would always point out that I can't teach you troubleshooting in a class room. Troubleshooting is what you do when your boss calls you an 3AM and says "the system is down; get it working by sunrise or you are fired." That's troubleshooting. That's why RHCE is well respected and trusted. That's why Red Hat can stake their reputation behind telling your employer that _you_ know what you are doing. Don't be afraid to take the exam more than once. Learning to manage your time is what an RHCE exam is all about. Cheers!
