Red Hat Linux Essentials RH033

[TheCake]

Am thinking of doing this course to improve my knowledge of Linux as I'm an absolute noobie.

The goal is to complete and then move on to do the RH133 and became Red Hat Certified Technician.

Anyone recommend a decent Red Hat Linux book for complete idiots?

Thanks

yeah... I'd recommend "KDF"

Do you run Linux at home? That's a good place to start... fiddling yourself with the help of a support forum and KDF on hand lol

Well we have a linux server at work but I'm going to run it on a small desktop there to have hands on experience...

and of course I have to get me one of these "KDF" things

Im booked in to the RH133 course on May 20th (my work is paying for it came to £1500 i think).. but the RH033 is a good start for total newbies.

The RH133 course will result in a RHCT if you pass the exam (its a hands on exam eg. you actually have to do stuff on a computer unlike the mcse exams )

Thanks mate. I'll be in touch if I get approval from my boss

Oh ye, one last thing.. you asked about books, get

Red Hat Certified Technician Study Guide by Michael Jang

100% coverage and 40+ Realistic Exam Labs, you also get a CD with an Electronic verison of the book so you can keep it on your laptop/pda etc.

Costs £34.99
