Fri 5th Feb 2010 @ 18:06: Red Hat Certified Engineer

I am now a Red Hat Certified Engineer (805010462746660), having passed the RH302 exam today, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 This keeps me certified until the release of RHEL7, I believe.

The exam was quite fun, in a way; the NDA means that I can't say much about it at all, but there were no trick questions, and the tasks set were sensible but challenging. You certainly need to know the RedHat way of doing things, it is not a generic GNU/Linux exam.

Scores? Oh, go on then:

RHCE requirements: score of 70 or higher on RHCT components (100 points)

                   score of 70 or higher on RHCE components (100 points)



RHCT requirement:  score of 70 or higher on RHCT components (100 points)



RHCT components score:                             100.0

RHCE components score:                             93.8



RHCE Certification:                                PASS

As the two parts have equal merit, that makes for an overall rate of 96.9%. Where did the other 3.1% go? I wasn't entirely happy with the imaps config; I was also not too happy with how I configured NFS with the firewall, but I didn't really want to disable the firewall either. But I will never know how it was marked :-(
