Thanks for such quick responses from so many. I agree that leaning is generally a good thing, it's just should I bother re-taking the exams? I'm not after a CV builder, especially at my age
I might take it again for personal pride. I was very much a "rabbit in the headlights" for the exams, especially given that I didn't know before Monday morning that there was RHCSA Friday morning and RHCE in the afternoon, so no prep-work and I hadn't done the course for RHCSA
At least I kept making sure that may machine booted and the changes I built up were persistent. There are many stories of people scoring zero because there was a fault somewhere that stopped the server boot, e.g. a duff NFS mount.
The big thing is that it's not multiple choice, but actually delivering things that just seem irrelevant to everywhere I've ever worked and you have to remember enough so you read the right
man pages without wasting too much time - oh and you have to crack into the OS and set the root password, which is a different process from RHEL6 and before. They only mention it briefly, miss it and you are doomed
Kind regards,
Robin
