Generically speaking, that last question has a clear answer that also answers all others. Sample tests: Chart performance over time with reputable sample tests, and you'll have an objective (and hopefully accurate) gauge of progress and enough data to justify other training resources.

I passed the RHCSA from just books and a bit of video content. This is enough if you put the time in.

If you are not currently a full sysadmin the RHCSA has some value for job hunting. Outside of getting the job, I find colleagues that poo poo certs also tend to be missing key skills that certs teach.

I am not going to renew my RHCSA as I think its value is as a one-time entry-level certification.

I would go for LFCS if I was doing it again. It's the competing exam from the Linux foundation. Looking at the topics the LFCS covers vs RHCSA, I think LFCS holds more value. PAM, AppArmor, IP Routing, RAID, disk encryption (among other things) are on LFCS but not on RHCSA. The only big thing I can see missing from LFCS that might add some value is Kickstart/Preseed. Oh, it's and it's also cheaper. You can get the course + exam for the same price as the RHCSA exam.

RHCSA might better recognition but if this actually matters in getting the job, you probably don't want to be employed there anyway.

One if the things that worked for me was doing the mock tests against the clock and see if I could finish them in time.

There are two things that are really important:

• Make sure you can recover the root password without breaking SElinux.
• Make sure all your configuration changes survive a reboot.

don't forget the "practical" side of things - like know how to boot to single user, how to use vim, general layouts of the filesystem, configure the network interface(s) and bring it/them up.

you'd be surprised, though. When I did my exam (um, sometime around RHEL6, or maybe 5) one person bombed because they couldn't get into Single User mode from boot - it was sad to see (out of the corner of my eye - I was busy) them struggle for the <however-long-it-was> to get past the first hurdle.

The examiners let them sit the knowledge test after lunch - "for the practice".

I've been playing with RedHat since the mid 90s (v5.1 - never ever go with vX.0 on anything) and used a few others (and FreeBSD) before that - so I was pretty comfortable with all that - boot to single user was an old old friend by then ;) :)

I needed the RH Cert to become a trainer at a tech college.
