Good point. Being new to Linux I've ONLY used the GUI. I'll start
digging into the command line tools.

Hmmm... I missed that official disclaimer, but I do have to agree with
that assessment after having talked with Redhat.

It's frustrating. I've taken a dozen certification exams over my
career and I've passed everyone one the first try. I've done that by
always being prepared and thoroughly studying and building out test
scenarios with spare equipment. But, I've always been taken exams in
environments that were part of my day-to-day job and I had enough
experience to have an intuitive since of things. Even then I had to
crack the books.

The one thing I have learned about Linux is that it is fundamentally
different than what I am used to. I'm having trouble establishing
that intuitive since. I guess there is not short cut to that.
Alas...

I think at this point I'll just take Redhat's stated objectives for
the exams and start working through them and see what I discover along
the way.
