Introduction:
 
Designed for Linux system administrators with RHCE certification or equivalent skills who are experienced with Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 3 or version 4, this course will bring you up to date on the latest technologies in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5.

This course offers the same lecture, lab, and hands-on learning as RHUP304 without the RHCE exam on the fourth day.
 
Audience:
 
  • Linux system administrators who have significant real-world experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 3 and/or 4
  • Non-RHCEs with vast Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and/or 4 experience
  • RHCEs with the same broad experience who are not currently interested in re-certification
 
Prerequisites:
 
This course requires an RHCE certification or equivalent experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Those with RHCT-level knowledge will benefit from this course, but some of the material in this course will assume knowledge that RHCTs may not have mastered. In addition, you should have broad experience with Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 3 and/or 4.
 
Customize it:
 
This 3-day LINUX course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of Linux training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization?s ame on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren't too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our standard, one size fits all, class.
