redhat certification in bangalore

hi

i want to take redhat certification....

suggest me best training institute in bangalore...

Hey dude today i did my red hat certification exam ,,,

i ll get get my score tom !!!

morning

then suggest me some good institute in bangalore

Training institute ? Why don't you study yourself ? The material is freely available online.
Install the latest version of CentOS to start with. *www.centos.org/
Only the exam costs 20K to write.

what is CentOS... can u explain ....

exam fee for RHCE is 20k......

Red Hat Certified Engineer examination is an exam conducted by Red Hat for linux administrators. Its exam cost is high. Only after you write the exam will you be given official certification.

If you ask me what is CentOS without reading the link, I seriously doubt you have the aptitude for RHCE. ;-)

Anyway, this wikipedia article will help you. *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centos

^You got it wrong! The tag "RHCE" is just like "IIM/IIT". We can study "ourselves" in the school/colleges too. Why "waste" a lot then in goin to skools and colleges? Let alone the after-skool/college tuitions.

@deepak : check here => *www.redhat.in/training/locations.php

wait till tom i ll post my certification number with my certificate

@mediator --> but the exam formalities are severe last time i rebooted on the exam with out knowing of the examiner he sent me out !! thats one hell , but i got an offer on the retake of exam for 2500/- , that i did it today

EXAM FEES for RHCe is --->Rs 12547/-

Yeah, they've always been severe. I gave RHCE just for phun around august last year. The instructor spoke like Raghu Ram of MTV roadiezz n I behaved like Vishal of splitsvilla. Just kiddin! Neways, Eye movements r forbidden n reboots require instructor's permission AFAIR. I wud only advise all the RHCE applicants to have orangina and tour the loo before the exam.

^^^ but this time i ll bet to get 300/300 in certification ,, i am waiting for the results it ll be arriving @ the mail @ 6-7am ,, sleep is noy coming even for me

ok lets help our Thread starter ,,,,,

@ thread starter :::

try this

*www.redhat.in/training/locations.php

^^Great. Do tell us how you fared when the results come out.

Ya i got my results , today morning 6.00Am

Eligibility phaseA & phaseB =>50+50= 100%

RHCT - 95%
RHCE - 90%

so total 285/300 ... wow

verify certificate :: *www.redhat.com/training/certification/verify/

no : 805009323337203

Congratulations

How hard was it to write the exam ?

Isn't it a one-invigilator with one-examinee type test done on a computer ?

What portions did you have to study ?

Was there a lot of stuff about BASH scripting ?

Any link to the whole syllabus ?

How long did you have to study ? You were a newbie to linux before starting right ?

offcourse i dint even seen the linux before entering in to RHCE , but the things are very easy in RHCT , but RHCE is full of servers - web servers , samba , squid(proxy) , mail server etc

no there are little bash only just changing root password and some trouble shooting

RHCE is full of servers , so i had downloaded the books from various sites but they never help , should know to handle with "CLIENT Server Architecture"

@ MetalheadGautham

there are lot of formalities by the entrance of the exam the exam fear will be one side but if we do anything to hardware or any hardware stucks the exam will be lost for us only but u can download model papers and u can use it

the books for RHCT is nearly get from many sites but for RHCE u should rely on the server platform rather than reading books

the invigilator is very very strict :: they dont even talk to us ... all they say is "get out , times up "

Whats the difference between RHCT and RHCE ? Do I need to complete one to write the other ?

And was the exam time enough to complete the set of questions ?

What do you mean by troubleshooting in BASH ?

Are most operations graphical ?

Do you mean to say they test application using level skills more than OS-level skills ?

Was there anything about RPM/Yum ?

And do you think the time from June to July is enough for studying for this exam ? I want to get certified before entering collage

Ya the yum installer & rpm are used but yesterday my mistake as thet told to use yum , but i used RPM for installing kernel so 5 marks reduced

RHCT- technician level which installing and system maintanence

RHCE - Engineering level which u used be able to deal with server and client -- package of servers

Exam time is 5 & half hours , morethan enough

bash is used when : fstab entries are modified and no rescue cd is need directly entering in to bash we can solve

no graphical is allowed ,, graphics should not be installed - but configuring NTP and cups we graphics that is on the RHCT part , RHCE fully command

no , application skills are needed -- i told u client / server part is full for RHCE

RHCE & RHCT are same both exam @ once includes 5 & 1/2 hrs , but there 2 & 1/2 hrs eligibility that if u pass then u r allowed to write the RHCT or RHCE there r 8 question there 4 goes for RHCT , another 4 goes for RHCE RHCE includes trouble shooting , the compulsary part is first 4 on RHCT if one goes wrong thats all no certificate

one month is enough , if u already worked on like linux servers not desktop , linux destop is varied frm linux servers , so practice with server and client

What are the apps you need to learn to use ? Can you give me a list ?
And I hope default install of CentOS 5.2 64-bit DVD has them all ?

Dude the exam is not the Distros ,, it complete of the RED HAT OS EL 5 which will be provided with the course are u should use only the fedora 8 or 9

no applications are needed ,, packages in the cutumization

U shud get a hang of system debugging, networking and permissions coz a mere acquaintance with this knowledge might end u up in giving the exam again. Its like creating a program in one go and pondering over for syntactical and logical errors before executing it i.e u shudn't be practising with the various cases of possiblities and solutions that might sprout up in ur mind if u hit the panick button during the exam. Also, there is a lot to be memorised both in terms of terminology and procedures, after all its an exam!

@mediator: yeah I understand.

1. Debugging - I learnt to debug archlinux the hard way. Yesterday night when HAL got uninstalled and something else failed to load as a module. Hopefully I can catch up with CentOS too.

2. OS - damngoodman999 says I need to install Fedora. Wouldn't CentOS 5.2 do ?

3. Terminology and Prodedures - I have had enough of that. Bit unwanted sometimes, but I learnt to love it.

It really doesn't matter which OS you use as in the end you are trying to become "bond in *nix". But whicheva OS u use, I suggest you shud stick to it and not waste time in distro hoping, and perfecting your installing, uninstalling "eye candy, codec pack" kind of things again n again.

But yes, since its RHCE it wud be helpful if you use fedora or CENTOS. I never tried CentOS but IMO fedora is just perfect for practicing it out. U may check CentOS and give ur feedback though.

Also, don't undermine "terminology and procedures". The study material is perfect and u might learn a lot of things from it for your own practical use.

It consists of two parts : The Course and the Exam. Both have their own separate fee. So, If u really want to study it all, then I suggest you shud take the course, practice it and then give the exam any time u want.

OK. Then what about the study material ? Where can I get it ?

MetalheadGautham said:

i ll give u 3 rd module -> by mail

1 & 2 module i ll ask with some one and give

the modules r notes

You have to go to RHCE center and apply for the course, of course!
U get 3 books and of course, an elegant Redhat cap + bag.

@damngoodman : Sharing the material and paper, AFAIK, can revoke ur certification number. So be cautious while sharing.

Whats the cost of the course ?

Rs. 12,000/- only!!

no i am giving my notes , only not the material k

mediator said:
Rs. 12,000/- only!!

Wait a sec, I thought Rs. 12,000 was for examination fees ?
Does this 12000 include BOTH examination charges and course material charges ?

And till I buy it, what software do I learn ? You guys keep saying its about server maintaining and stuff like that, but WHAT do I actually do to practice before the exam other than learning to configure CentOS by commandline ?

To prep for the exam u need access to a machine having Redhat Enterprise linux Server OS connected to a LAN. The LAN may provide necessary Services (such as DHCP, DNS).

What More ?

Done. NEXT ?

Then u shud use ur brainsauce to figure out how to solve the 1 st question of the exam, i.e how to login when the system get ****ed up

@ MetalheadGautham

the EL5 linux is study of server and client architecture , u should really need the server machine and client machine to learn from home

m@sterchief said:

AM I allowed to use a Live CD ?

Server Client architecture - do you mean I need TWO computers to study this ?

ya u need two system , may be one lap and one desktop - usually everyone have that

OK. I get it now. TWO rigs.

Do both need to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux (or CentOS) ?

my buddy who did the exam along with me actually failed to solve the first problem, i.e he failed 2 troubleshoot the "login" problem. Consequently he couldn't tackle the rest of the questions. And the swankly dressed external exams guy politely told him to to vacate his a$$ out of the premises.

@MHG : You asked bt course. So course is for 12000/- and exam is also for 12000/-. So the total fee is 24000/- only. U get a redhat CD for "free", wateva that means! And stay cool man, don't be so worried.

@ m@sterchief

i did the eligibility round with trouble shooting with in 15 min /-

trouble shooting 5 min --> all three stage they made error /fstab & grub.conf & initrd image file removed

mediator said:
@MHG : You asked bt course. So course is for 12000/- and exam is also for 12000/-. So the total fee is 24000/- only.

OK. Is the course study-center based or self-learning type ?
If its the self learning type, can I study using some matierial from the internet ?
Are there any free courseware available ?
I am asking because I know places where they take crash courses for RHCE for LESS than 12K.
Thats pretty amusing considering the fact that official course costs more.

U get a redhat CD for "free", wateva that means!

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a paid software. But it costs usually upwards of 6K (for basic limited license) and is usually well over 12K and can reach 50K too. But thats all because it has special technical support and maintainance service for a certain number of years and this is valued by customers who are usually non-technical institutions.

So the CD being "free" has little or no meaning and is just a gimmik because YOU are the one who troubleshoots the OS for the exam

And stay cool man, don't be so worried.

I am not worried. Just want to be sure of what I am doing.

WHAT ?

Thats great. I had solved similar problem in my friend's "partial install" of DreamLinux. FSTAB was the default empty file while kernel needed to be changed.

They don't screw up your configuration files right ?

Its study-centre based and u shud opt for a centre listed in the link I gave. Bargain if u have to, but only on the listed centres.

mediator said:

I asked about correspondence course. Isn't there an online course available ? So far ALL linux certificate courses are available online for free from what I have seen till now.

No idea bt that! "online course" certainly sounds fart to me. Njoyin where u have a proper network set up in place gives much more satisfaction.

@ MetalheadGautham

in FSTAb -> /boot & / partition are the main part of booting and if 2 kernel or 3 kernel are there means then the initrd image "boot image" removed means then it ll be so tough to trouble shoot

"u cannot create a image file for which is tend to boot / although the "mkinitrd " will never work so risky at that time

so please get trained frm some one , because some sever section are little bit confusable !!

I can setup a network at home right ? I am getting a second computer soon.

Hello all
I am also planning for studying for certification I have few questions:
(1) I have a laptop and a PC what hardware do I require for networking between them? And also how should I set the OSes for faciliate the training?
(2) Do I have to specifically install Fedora/CentOS?
(3) Where can I get the study material? Could you refer to some good material? Also where are the model test papers.
(4) I will be free in June+July? Will that be enough for joining a training institute and then giving the examination?
(5) Is it "extreme skill" exam or a type of exam interested candidates with some training, common sense, and practice can clear?

This is the score of pre-assessment test I got:

Code:

Basic Filesystem and File Commands 	Substantial Knowledge 	3
The Linux Filesystem Layout 	Deep Understanding 	4
Permissions and Attributes 	Familiarity 	1
Text Processing Tools 	Familiarity 	1
The vi and vim Editors 	Unfamiliar 	0
System Configuration Tools 	Substantial Knowledge 	3
Standard Input and Output System 	Familiarity 	1
Process Control 	Substantial Knowledge 	3
Client-side Encrypted Communications 	Familiarity 	1
bash Command Line Shortcuts 	Familiarity 	1
Shell Scripting 	Unfamiliar 	0
Task Automation 	Unfamiliar 	0

Conclusion: You will need to undertake substantial studying to acquire skills at this level.

I guess I have to start working for it now...

if u r having Laptop and PC , then it is all settled

catch up the steps
------------------------

first of all u have buy the study material from the RED HAT inc - global learning services
the study material include DVD of EL5 SE linux
install the EL5 linux in to laptop with full packages , so it take more time 1.5Hrs
now , copy the dvd iso image in to laptop in to some source path u desire , then in another path copy only the packages in various folder
then assign the IP address for the laptop like 192.168.0.244 like that , then change the host name as server1 or anything
u should have switch or router which should connect to both laptop and PC
then in PC desktop text method installing u should type " linux text askmethod" then select the NFS image not the local CD rom , through NFS image u should try to install
that u ll learn from the study material this is first one
complete this , then i ll help u

DONT forget to buy the study material from RED HAT inc

if u were in mumbai , bangalore , or any where else big town u can get it from the authorized center for learning , u can also learn from there by paying extra amount that includes studying .

if u dont prefer learning there u get study material for some amount

u can search the authorized center from

I live in Delhi so that shouldn't be any problem.

I guess I would take the training in June/July.
But can you recommend some study material which I could refer to and which gives me a head start for RHCE? Preferably freely available material.
Or do you recommend any book?

u can just go through the basic command in "FEDORA 8/9"

no need of books just use basic command list which u can download with "linux commands"

u should know "which directory contains what - means source of the operation"

ex : /vi/etc/proc ----> which has system files like that many file systems are there u should what

please select good training & authorized training then u can learn from basic s

MAY i KNOW Whats ur age ??

damngoodman999 said:

Why? I'm 18.

Liverpool_fan said:
Why? I'm 18.

In this age u no need to worry abt the RHCE , select the path first

which side u want to be the expert one like

networking
system
database
system security
programmer
animator
etc........

if u choosing system & networking - go for CCNA first because the RHCE is the last one for LINUX & RHCSS there are only 12 people in INDIA its very very tough

so RHCE will be ur final one for the attempt

first study the CCNA & MCSE then go for RHCE final , then it will so much easier to complete and get full knowledge on the system as well as networking

see i am system + database administrator so RHCE + OCP "oracle certified professional " DBA my Age is 23 so i have to study lot and hard one

u no need worry everything is just fine start with CCNA + MCSE , all the best u can do fine

My favourite is programming however I have great interest in Operating systems particularly *nix based OSes like Linux, that is why I am inclined to RHCE. I feel it would really enhance my knowledge...as well as give the recognisation and would really test my mettle.
I dunno much about CCNA though...

Operating system development is different , not the RHCE "RHCE" is system administration

open source architect ! is what u want + linux developer , so u should learn shell & perl programming

dude , u have learn more dont bother about it join the college and learn for a year

first of be good in severe c,c++ then java , j2ee , this the basics study the data structures in java & c

u have to gone long road .

u should learn the basics after an year u start with ur own opinion cause in this age u cant do anything without basics , so go ahead !!

Do you need C, C++, Java, J2EE, Data Structures, etc and python/bash scripting to write RHCE ?

no u dont need these ,,, only for developer & programmer for linux ,, u need all these

if u want to a programmer ,, dont go for RHCE

RHCE is system administration

damngoodman999 said:

You didn't get my point.
What I said was, even if you want to be a programmer, there is no harm in learning administration.
Infact, while RHCE may take 1-2 months to learn, becoming a software developer takes a few YEARS.

So administration would be a good backup option till you become a developer.

Even I am learning to become a linux dev, but I am still writing RHCE because I want expertise in USING linux first before helping OTHERS use it.

Even if u want to be only a developer on the the Linux platform a RHCE certification would fully qualify u to Operate, manage & configure a Linux system which is very important.

^
Exactly the reason I wish to pursue it...

Well, atleast in Linux RHCE certification is not mandatory because most devs are self taught, but on a personal note, I want to pass this exam just to get the RHCE tag under my name BEFORE I get any degree for bragging rights

if u need for certification u can go for RHCE no probs , but u should remember one thing RHCE is standard one and In INDIA , for linux admin only RHCE is more than enough But in FUTURE the EXPERTISE exam "RHS 333" is the key to enter in to LINUX that says that --> u r authenticated to ENTER the LINUX platform

If u want be totally expert in LINUX --> start from now go ahead with the RHCE finish with in 3 months because u ll get :"DUMBS" but after that in every exam is impossible to study

the next stop is

if u r an "RHCSS" then u worth @ the linux ,

---------------------------------------------

if u choose one line means u should go on that one if u change the platform u cannot be an expert @ any one of the platform

RHCE first module only includes the operation of linux ,, 2 & 3 module completely different for the other programmers ,, so y need to waste the money u can just learn by book on the "LINUX desktop operation"

choose the way !! only 13 members are RHCSS in INDIA !! certified

in RHCA only 2 members are certified

if u r an RHCSS u worth a lot !! linux expert

i completed my RHCE cert. last week and I still haven't seen any sign of those ****ing Bag, Watch & Badge with the RedHat Logo that they said would be given.

Does anyone in a similar predicament

^^ i too completed on FEB/09 ,, still no pendrive, backpack , badge etc....

one guy told me it ll take 2 months or a month !!

And for all others who have r now RHCE, i wanted to know that how difficult it was....?? as i hv just started bulding my basics of linux...but wanted to do more with this certification.....will it help me in campus placements (possibly in nr end of this year) ....??

Do one can clear this without any coaching/joining institute.....??
Will after completing RHCE, cant we r suited for other fields of IT or this will be like a jewel in the crown and help more focused career....!!!

I have just got free few days ago. I'm looking forward for joining an institute. But still not decided which one to join. Sorry for the late reply.

@Others: Any Recommendations regarding institution? Preferable location in West Delhi, near a metro station (blue line)?

anyone here who can share his experience abt the topic.....

Hi. I completed my MCA and want to settle in field of linux. So thinking for appearing RHCE. What are the job prospects for RHCE? Please reply me . I am in total confusion as I am with no job now.

Welcome prudhivisekhar

Me too MCA RHCE CCNA , Linux lots of variants in RHCE u can go for System admin server admin even with combination of network + system admin & Database + Rhce will give u more advantage

The basic RHCE is for Server purpose - regarding datacenter for web hosting to admin the process RHCE is the key

U can go higher if u want
RHCSS
RHCDS
RHCA

these are the top level of RHCE , in INDIA its not big worth on the higher education

P

@damngoodman999

Thanks for answering. I can afford for RHCE only now. After certified as RHCE will I be able to get job?

@ prudhivisekhar

What ever u study , better get skilled in that study completely each & every concept RHCE course gives u top layer of system administration in LINUX but u shud learn by practically more working on it , the interview questions for the LINUX admin are based on the key concepts , file systems & operation commands . Sure u ll get JOB if u r skilled !!

Good Luck !

The Standard Track consists of three courses -- RH033, RH133, RH253 -- and is aimed at persons who need more review of key concepts or who are new to both UNIX and Linux.

* RH033 Red Hat Linux Essentials targets IT professionals with no prior UNIX or Linux experience, and covers skills to prepare for RH133, including shell and command line essentials.
* RH131 and RH133 Red Hat System Administration are designed for those wanting to prepare for professional responsibilities as a Linux systems administrator at the Technician level. You'll learn all the skills required to manage a Linux workstation and attach it to a corporate network, including configuration of client-side network services. Prerequisites include networking fundamentals and internetworking with TCP/IP, widely available from reputable training vendors or through self-study. RH133 includes the RHCT Exam on the last day.
* RH253 Red Hat Linux Networking and Security Administration is designed for those who desire to build skills at configuring and administering a Red Hat Linux server running key enterprise network services and security. Prerequisites include RH133 or equivalent skills.

I am too interested in linux RHCE.

Which is best institute in PUNE?

What abt SEED is it good?

*BUMP*
I didn't do the RHCE course last year. However this year I want to do RHCE for sure, but the situation is that I have to do Summer Training at the end of 2nd year, so few questions.
If I do RHCE will the training institute facilitate such that I can show I have performed something as in "Summer Training"?
Secondly would anyone recommend me a good training center in Delhi? Preferably in West Delhi [near (or even better in) Dwarka]

I am thinking of the same but i am a little confused in RHCE or Embedded systems. Being an electrical engg student, it will be useful for me to have knowledge of embedded systems as i will go for Scada(sequential control and data acquisition)systems training next year!
