Can you detail a bit on RHCE/RHCA? I understand > that book reading is of no help in RH certs since it's a hands on one. Bear in mind that I am biased... (I am a Red Hat instructor/examiner - that's what the RHCX stands for) and I haven't done the LPI. You may be better staring a different thread and asking others for their experiences, if you want a "neutral" point of view. There will be many here who have sat some of our courses and/or the LPI. The different RH certifications are approximately as follows. disclaimer: I work for Red Hat, I do not speak for them in any official capacity. All of this is my wording and not necessarily accurate. Proper "official" descriptions and summaries on the redhat.com website in the "training" section - http://www.redhat.com/training RHCT/RHCE/RHCA/RHCSS involve practical examinations and cover skillsets approximately as follows: RHCT - local systems administration RHCE - local sysadmin + configuring & securing common network services RHCA - Red Hat Certified Architect: 5 extra courses/examinations, covering clustering, network service security, authentication, deployment, virtualisation, performance tuning (and a lot more) RHCSS - the security elements of RHCA, plus SELinux. The courses are in general, fairly redhat-specific, so we wouldn't cover tools and applications that we don't ship and if there is a Red Hat product that provides a particular functionality, it is likely that we would use it on the courses. They all run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I believe LPI is still multiple-choice (please feel free to correct me, as I explained, I haven't done it!). LPI is, of course, vendor-neutral, so would cover a lot of topics that Red Hat courses wouldn't - different packaging systems and configuration tools etc. Regards Stuart -- Stuart Sears RHCA RHCX LP DAT PDQ SCART STFU
