i can't disagree, though i don't want to... heh.  rhce is pretty easy as
long as you pay attention, take notes, and remember that the instructor is
telling you 90% of the test...   i know several highly experienced ninja
sysadmins who had trouble because they didn't pay attention, thought they
were above the course.  you don't pay attention and you don't learn the
x-window troubleshooting.

and alot of it is intuitive troubleshooting, and having pretty solid
knowlege of the o/s before you go in.  it's not for beginners.  at least 2
years of linux/unix knowlege is required before you go in.

really, after taking the course i feel that all i really got was a $2,500
book that lycos paid for.

also, there are tons of lpi books out there, amazon has oreily's for 25
bucks or so.
