Hi,
I am thinking of writing the RHCE exam soon. But since it is quite directed towards RHEL and I don't have the cash for RHEL.
Can i learn using other RHEL-clones at home ???
I mean White Box Linux, CentOS, TaoLinux,etc...

If yes, which of these will be best???

as far as i have know white box is known to be a good RHEL clone

and i hope RHEL might be licenced unger GPL, so if someone has RHEL u can get a copy of that, that might not be illegal, i hope

regards

Thks i think i'll opt for WhiteBox!!!

From most reviews I have read, it seems like CentOS is more like the original RHEL than any of the other clones. Search on google, I know there is a comparison somewhere of the RHEL clones.

hey redazz

i see u r using ubuntu linux
just i wanted to know how is ubuntu linux

regards

Ubuntu is a great distro. I like the fact that even though it's sort of a bleeding edge version of Debian, it's well polished all round and quite simple to get started with. The only shortfalls, are that the installer doesn't allow you to choose the packages you want to install. KDE is not available by default but you can install it via apt/synaptic if you have a high speed connection. Also they have done away with "root" and you use sudo instead. I prefer using the full root account and it's quite simple to revert back to it. If you want take a look at it, I'd urge you to go ahead, I think you'll like it. There have been numerous reviews with screenshots, so just search on google.

I'm afraid I am a bit late to this forum, but if any1 is still reading this thread: I studies for my RHCE using CentOS and passed. I did not experience any differences between the RHEL and CentOS that hindered my ability to take the test. I administer RHEL3 boxes at work, and run CentOS3/4 boxes on my home network, and I don't notice any differences. Hope this helps... Art.
