Hello:
I have been working primarily as a Linux systems administrator for the past 4-5 years. I'm seeking to get RHCT and eventually RHCE; I've been reading the exam guides posted on www.redhat.com and took the assessment test, on which I scored very highly in some areas but received middle scores in others. I'm looking for advice on comprehensive book titles that fully cover ALL topics I need to go over. Please feel free to post your experiences with the books you chose.
Thanks

Hi
The definitive book on Redhat certifications is Michael Jang's Red Hat Certified Engineer Linux study guide 5th edition by Mc Graw Hill Osborne.
I have used to for my RHCE exam last year and it's a great book.
Personally I recommend that you go after the RHCE exam. The certification requires that you score over 70% on the RHCT objectives AND over 70% on the RHCE objectives.
If however you don't score high enough on the RHCE objectives (like me :( ) you are still awarded the RHCT exam.
It does worth spending some extra time reading the RHCE related material and some extra money to take the full exam. After all people who employ any level of Linux administrators, do expect that they are Apache and e-mail literate.
If still you don't wish to take the full exam, then I still recommend this book. The only thing is that you won't have to read all of it.
