FC6

[Solari]

Hi guys,

I'm looking at taking the RHCE and am working on Fedora Core 6... will this be OK to do all the labs etc in books to correlate with RHEL4? Or has anything changed so far beyond recognition that I'd be better with FC4?

Advice appreciated Got to do this and upgrade Sun cert to 10 in the next few months so it's a bit of a nightmare (ugh - new service management stuff is horrible )

I remember reading this on Wikipedia (i hope it helps):

Originally, Red Hat based RHEL on Red Hat Linux, but using a much more conservative release cycle. Later versions leveraged technologies from Fedora Core. Roughly every third version of Red Hat Linux (RHL) or Fedora Core (FC) forms the basis for a version of RHEL, thus:

* RHL 6.2 → RHL 6.2E
* RHL 7.2 → RHEL 2.1
* RHL 9 → RHEL 3
* FC 3 → RHEL 4
* FC 6 → RHEL 5

Nope, not a good bet. I'd use CentOS (Which is a rebuild of RHEL) as that will be pretty much identical to RHEL. Get whichever version is used in the current exam.

I'd second that, I use CentOS as the OS on our mal server and it is different enough from Fedora (I use that on desktop) to make a difference if you are looking to go RHCE..

Cheers guys, I'll look into it.
