I obtained my Linux+ cert last year. I had home experience on Linux, and I also used a book from McGrawHill Osbourne, titled, appropriately, "Linux+ Certification Study Guide". I was also interested in RHCE, but according to the RHCE testing website, the closest place to take the RHCE test is, well, pick a U.S. Coastal City bordering on an *ocean*. California or New York, essentially. I didn't have the cash for both a trip to a U.S. Coastal City and the RHCE certification, so I went for the more vendor and distro-neutral Linux+, which is available through Sylvan Prometric right here in Kansas City. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
