This raises some interesting additional questions

One big question is (1) in what ways Enterprise is technically
and functionally different from the 'plain jane' linux we
unwashed multitudes have been snapping up off the
shelves at Best Buy in the pretty red/silver boxes, and what is
'testable' on the cert exam.

I am assuming, after being too lazy just now to research
this on web sites etc, that (2) these letters mean Workstation,
Enterprise Server and Advanced Server. Refer back to (1)

Then (3) Are there elements of the RHCE that would
actually require knowledge of attributes of the AS version
in such detail that you really, really want to have been
testing it on that product. Sort of like having a couple of
Cisco routers at home while studying EIGRP configs. etc

I am pretty sure some of the RH staff people up in NC are
regular readers of this list. Perhaps they know of, or would
want to help create a mechanism in which RH could create
either training methods, or a limited version of the actual
s/w which would allow this hands-on. Refer to Cisco
router sims which are now found on CCNA tests etc.

Disclaimer: If this exists now, it is news to me. But I am
posting this before doing my research (email machine here
