RHCE Result
Yesterday the RHCE exam results arrived and I just missed the RHCE passmark by a miserable 5.7 marks. I got 100% in the first session, 81.8% in the RCHT exam and 64.3% in the RCHE exam. I'm obviously a bit disappointed at not managing to get the RHCE certification especially because I got so close to the passmark. In reality I didn't think I'd do that well in the second part. Most probably I didn't pass because of the lack of motivation from my side because otherwise I could have made it.
The exam made me more conscious about the importance of security. Since I'm a developer not a systems administrator I usually tend to go towards the implementation of functionality rather than security. The more access to information people have the higher systems are at risk so it's better to close the holes before others find them. Saying this I must now learn how to use iptables.
Btw, if your interested in Linux (or want to start out using it) you should try Ubuntu. They are shipping their free CD's for free.

That's too bad you didn't pass. I'm sure you'll get it next time. I've been wanting to get certified too. Dun wanna fork over the money though. iptables is heavenly. Master that and you'll be set. There's lots of iptables automation scripts that can really teach you a lot about iptables in general. One I use is quicktables. It's just a simple bash script.
