hi everyone ,
i am a linux newbie and i've started out with redhat (RHEL 5) .
Eventually , i'd like to go for linux certification in redhat . It
would be highly appreciative if you could tell me the best
certification resources for redhat out there ( but i do not want a
book that lists out everything in a dry manner as if it were made for
rote learning....i want the concepts to come through) . Right now i am
studying Introduction to Linux of the Linux Documentation Process . am
i on the right path ??
Thanking in anticipation .

To be Devils advocate, if you are new, why do you want certification? Certifications without experience pretty much does nothing for you job wise. I personally have the experience and did a few certs (not the RHCE) to fill in the blanks on the CV. I am not even certain it would help me in a job respect since most people wised up with the flood of MCSE's years ago.... I have seen being an MCSE as a requirement for Helpdesks now. Certs are good if you have the experience to back them up, or you are using the books purely to learn in a dry, point blank manner which you are going to apply with practical "playing around" (which is worth more than anything IMHO). If you want to learn Linux, skip the certs and put the $$$ towards a few cheap systems - you will learn more, and get some experience.
