RHCE Update

October 1, 2005 Posted by mitch | redhat | 0 Comments

Well, I've been in Las Vegas all week preparing for the RHCE exam, which I took on Friday. I was stressing the exam all week because last time I took it (This was my second attempt), I barely passed the troubleshooting (well, I finnished 5 minuted before the time ran out), and I took long enough to get through the Installation and Configuration section that I didn't have enough time to test anything, which was my downfall last time, only earning me the RHCT. However, this time... I took 35-40 minutes to complete the whole troubleshooting section, and was able to complete, with testing, the Install and Configuration section with an hour to spare. Typically RedHat promises by the following Wednesday's end of business you'll have your results. However, it seams the grading people at RedHat like to work late on friday, and I recieved my results yesterday around 5pm MST. The verdict is..... I PASSED! I'm now, offically, an RHCE. As a reward for myself, I rode the roller coaster here at New York New York, and went to the "Tournament Of Kings" at Excalibur. Both were really fun, the Tournament of Kings is dinner and a show. Dinner was somewhat true to the times for the middle ages. No forks/knives/spoons were provided. You have to use your hands. The menu consisted of a small chicken, broccli, couple potato wedges, a roll, and some tomato soup. Also after the test to kill time before we went to the tournament of kings, we went and visited the Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. It was very interesting and I rather enjoyed it. A great way to end a couple weeks full of stress (with school finals last week and this this week... I'd about had enough). Anyway, I need to finnish packing things up so I'm ready to leave sometime in the next half hour.
