[ale] RH cert training recommendations?

[Scott McBrien]

Rich,

Just enroll through http://www.redhat.com/training

GCA is the Atlanta facility Red Hat uses, so as long as you sign up for a class in Atlanta, you'll show up there for class.

The same is true for CCNA...if you cannot do the practical exercises in a timely manner, don't even bother.  You won't finish the test.  I also used to be an instructor so I know how it is on both sides of the fence....

During the test, time is your biggest hurdle; you can look at man pages or the deployment guide all day, but for the test you have a finite amount of time.
