Talk about “copy and paste”. Not only has Oracle taken Red Hat Enterprise Linux and turned it into Unbreakable Linux. They now have a certification that is similar to that of Red Hat’s RHCE. After reviewing the details, it seems the exams will be in the more traditional format of multiple choice.
The exams seem to cover a lot of material. I guess you can with a multiple choice exam.
There are currently 2 levels of certifications being developed.
- Oracle Enterprise Linux Administrator Certified Associate
- Oracle Enterprise Linux Administrator Certified Professional
To attract RHCT’s to the new exams, Oracle is giving credit for the prerequisite exam “Enterprise Linux Fundamentals 1Z0-402“. The similarities don’t stop there. Oracle will soon offer 4 day instructor led training courses as well.
This may be be good news, as we all know competition can produce a better product in the long run. It seems that Oracle is serious about Linux, and plans to give Red Hat a run for their money.
I have taken the on-line Red Hat Linux System Administration Series (RH133) course from RedHat. I wanted to take this course in preparation for my RHCT exam. As it turns out, the course was not updated for RHEL 5 and I received a refund.
I did take some time and go through the course and it’s very well written, and covers a lot of info. But for $1600, I would like something that’s up-to-date. You know, get my money’s worth.
I would like to try the on-line course for the RH253 Red Linux Networking Services and Security Series (RH253). I am just worried about it being targeted for RHEL4 as well.
Has anyone taken this course?
Is it updated for RHEL 5?
I decied to take the RHCT before my RHCE so that I could get a feel for the test. Can’t talk about the exam, but I can say I passed!
Here’s the cool link to prove it.
