Hi all,
The SLUG members in the St. Petersburg area are
planning on starting hands-on linux workshops for
people interested in getting their Red Hat Certified
Engineer (RHCE) certification, or anyone wanting to
learn more about linux. This is in the initial
planning stages. For locations other than St. Pete,
we will be happy to colaborate with you. You can join
us if you like.
We are thinking either one or two weekend days per
month, like a Saturday or Sunday, probably a half-day.
All of these variables are up to those of you who are
interested. Anyone that is interested in attending
all (or even some) of the sessions, please fill out
the below survey form, and email your response to me:
drokmed@yahoo.com
We are currently thinking about using the labs
straight out of the RHCE Red Hat Certified Engineer
Linux Study Guide (Exam RH302), Third Edition,
published by McGraw Hill/Osborne. This is by no means
an official event! This is an unofficial collective
effort of members assisting each other. No guarantees
here (hey, what do you want for free?)
Here is the summary agenda:
1. Installation
2. Basic Configuration and Administration
3. Advanced Installation
4. X Window System
5. Network Client Services
6. Network Management
7. Systems Administration and Security
8. Operational Administration Recovery and Security
The book recommends you already have basic knowledge
and experience with linux. Please check the
pre-requisites for this course:
http://www.redhat.com/training/rhce/courses/rh300_prereq.html
We may consider starting with the pre-requisites, then
proceed with the RHCE labs, depending on the survey
results.
Ideally, each person should bring at least one PC that
has a hard disk that WILL be reformatted, and has a
NIC. Preferably has a CD-ROM drive that can be booted
from. Don't forget the monitor, keyboard, mouse,
speakers, ethernet cable, power strip, etc. Extra
stuff is helpful, such as extra cables, power strips,
extension cords, ethernet hubs, etc.
I can bring an AMD P6-2.1Ghz PC, a dual P3-550Mhz
(SMP) PC, a 4-port Ethernet hub/router (Belkin), a few
power strips, extension cords, blank CDRs, RH9.0
install CDs, Windows w2kpro, w2kserv CDs (for
dual-boot stuff), etc.
Maybe we can get SLUG to provide some coffee and
dounuts :)~
We will try to get the St. Pete library for our
location. If we are unable to use the library,
everyone think about an alternate location we might be
able to use (sorry, no bedrooms!).
OK, here is the survey. Please copy the below
