I bought this title after having toted Jang's RHCSA/RHCE Certification Study Guide around for a couple of years. Jang's book is regarded as the standard when it comes to exam preparation, but for RHEL 5 I found Ghori's previous edition to be more helpful in a number of ways, specifically in its straightforward presentation of material and almost cookbook how-to of different topics. This latest edition, recrafted for RHEL 6, is another good title for reference and exam preparation.
Ghori's approach when assembling this book is clear – present the material in a very direct, understandable and sometimes exhaustive way. Every topic is presented very methodically and has no shortage of explanation attached, whether it's setting up an ftp server or running the ls command. Cases where there isn't enough information are few.
The material is broken down in logical chapters in two groups – RHCSA-specific topics and RHCE-specific topics. In the RHCSA section there are: Local Installation, Basic Linux Commands, Files and Directories, Package Management, Virtualization and Network Installation, Linux Boot Process & Kernel Management, Disk Partitioning, File Systems & Swap, Users & Groups, Firewall & SELinux, and finally Networking/Network Interfaces & DNS/DHCP/LDAP Clients. In the RHCE section there are: Shell Scripting/Building an RPM Package/iSCSI, Advanced Firewall/TCP Wrappers/Usage Reporting & Remote Logging, Routing/Kerberos/DNS Server, Internet Services/Kernel Parameters/NTP, Electronic Mail, Network File System (NFS), Samba & FTP, and finally Apache Web Server (HTTP) & Secure Shell Server (ssh). Every chapter (including chapter one) has a small set of labs and a large number of review questions for practice and exam preparation.
