I might be getting a chance to go for Red Hat Enterprise Tech training in the next few months and would like to brush up on it.

My knowledge currently consists of installation and use of it as a workstation(program installations, editing some system files, setting up and connecting to shares and user administration).


Most of the books out there are for RHEL 4 and I need a RHEL 5 book.

Most of the subjects for RHEL4 are going to also apply to RHEL5. I think the main changes to RHEL5 were the addition of Xen-based virtualization tools, more clustering stuff and the addition of yum (I'm not sure if up2date still exists in RHEL5).

I wanted something thorough(have a few months to soak it in), but nothing too newbish. I picked up a Linux+ certification book and 2/3 of it is absolute garbage.

I can't really comment on either since I haven't looked at them. Would it be possible to head down to a Borders, B&N, etc and flip through them first?
