I am officially a RedHat Certified Technician! Although I'm not gaining any experience in RedHat on my current project, I managed to get RedHat training approved by my firm, and took the RH133 course last week. The course was great- I learned a good deal of administration tips and tricks and it really helped fill in some crucial voids in my Linux repertoire.
I'm hoping to continue on the Red Hat path to obtain my RHCE in the next year, hopefully in October if possible. Admittedly, Gentoo still holds a special place in my heart, but in terms of usability and enterprise server-grade Linux, Red Hat has gained a lot of points in my book, particularly with its implementation yum and system configuration tools.
The class also inspired me to take a closer look at Xen and KVM virtualization. I'm hoping to P2V my Windows 7 box at home, and instead use RHEL (or CentOS) as a hypervisor and run Windows 7 as a VM.
RH courses I'm hoping to attend (and gain certification in) in the coming months include:
- RH253 - Red Hat Linux Network and Security Administration
- RH318 - Red Hat Virtualization Administration
