Introduction:
 
This course provides experienced Linux/UNIX users with fast-track preparation for the RHCE exam. In addition, server system administrators learn to handle the technical responsibilities of managing a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. This course is a rapid track for RHCE certification. Therefore, it is the same as RH300, but RH301 does not include RHCE exam.

Red Hat training and certification for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is not just valuable for those professionals who will be working with it immediately. It is also valuable to professionals working on earlier releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. While Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 does introduce new capabilities and technologies, the core system administration tasks one must learn and master as system administrator are far more similar to previous releases than different. Consequently, those who train on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 should adjust easily to earlier releases, while also having an understanding of the potential and opportunity that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 presents.
