Course author Ric Messier is a computer security professional with decades of experience helping large, global companies secure their data and software systems. He has been using Linux and its Unix predecessors for more than 30 years. In addition to running a network security consulting company, Messier teaches network security at the college level and SPIP compliance at the postgraduate level at Brandeis University.
Here, Messier follows the published objectives for attaining the System Administrator certification. Since the exam is practice-based, the course is devoted to hands-on projects, helping students develop their understanding of the operating system through experimentation and solving real-world problems.
After introducing Red Hat fundamentals, including basic shell commands, users, passwords, and groups, Messier goes in-depth with the Red Hat shell, explaining file management, archiving and compression, and other essentials.
The course continues with system management, where students learn booting and rebooting, working with run levels, process management, and network services management. The following two chapters then cover storage management and server management, exploring the fundamental concepts in using Red Hat to configure and maintain volumes and networks.
The course concludes with chapters covering accessing remote systems and managing Red Hat security.
"The exam for Red Hat Certified System Administrator is a practical exam format," Messier explains, "so you'll sit at the exam actually doing the work instead of explaining or answering questions."
"You'll be expected to know details about how Red Hat operates and how you would manage it," he continues. "The exam doesn't require a lot of experience, but you need to have some hands on experience with Red Hat or Centos, which is provided in the course."
Free demo videos and a full list of course contents can be found on the "Red Hat Certified System Administrator - Exam EX200 Training" page on the company website.
Infinite Skills offers its "Red Hat Certified System Administrator - Exam EX200 Training" either as a DVD or a direct download from the company website at a retail price of $99.95, or as part of its subscription streaming service available at a rate of $25 per month.
