Hello Everyone, I am planning to give the RHCE in January next year. I need some inputs regarding the questions asked in past examinations. Is there any way by which I could get those question papers ? Also, any tips from members who have already given the RHCE would be appreciated. I don't want to lose Rs 9,500/- in a single day. :-) Regards, Nadiem. --- "Free as in free speech, not free beer" - Richard M.

Hi , With regards to the polls in the forums on the lug site I have observed that a guest is allowed to vote. That too a guest is allowed to vote as many times as he wants to a particular poll. I guess this is not the functionality which we would want. Can we have only the registered users to vote for any polls? TIA, Pankaj

Moreover all 11g devices (of what I > know) are all backward compatible to 11b. All the wireless "standards" are pathetic. Very high latency, and low bandwidth utilisation with even moderate number of users connected or distance beyond 25 mtrs (i have done some bit of testing). I prefer to carry a cross & straight cable any day (most offices have a lan point within reach). The 11G thingy is anything but standard for now. Wireless lan is great for experiments with mobile voice apps etc.- not daily use. Me thinks it will be 2 yrs before wireless lans become reliable and useful.By then the current crop of peripherals will be hazardous pollutants. However 11g on a point to point link over a distance of a few kilometers is very good - 4 to 24 Mbps.

Easy scalability by simply putting more processors on the same die. Even the low end devices have bus speeds of 200mhz. Debain and Yellowdog both work with powerpc. There are several embedded boards which run uclinux. And ofcourse some of the Apple Power Macs (with pci bus) can run linux. But as of now u cant beat the x86 arch on price. Considering the fact that i would require support from a laptop mfg cause his mobo/peripheral combo is some closed design, I might be better off buying off the shelf lowpower mobo, battery + charger and laptop lcd and throw them into a small briefcase. I would easily save 40% on the cost and have better performance and (self) service. Also most of the warranties are carry in (onsite costs about 5% more). It is easier to find a component vendor than a service center in most places. Regarding Taiwanese mfg as Saswata points out all mobo roads lead to China a few to south east asia (IBM and Dell included). But Dlink (Goa Ponda), and Kobian (Daman) have plants in India.

Actually the after sales support for zenith depends on whom you buy from since dealers / resellers mostly do the service for you. I have a very good supplier. His response time to compaints at my father and 2 friends was about half day. Zenith depends on its dealers to provide first line of support and get it to zenith for serious problems. Similar to assembled pcs. Moral : don't bargain unnesessarily on pricing, let him make that 1500 margin unmolested and you are likely to get good service. > > As for Zenith, he just gets the whole laptop in a >CKD form from Taiwan to his plant in goa, gets out the >screw drivers and assembles the same.

Saswata, Toshiba-IBM-Acer could be good options to look at. I can vouch for the in-capability and unprofessionalism at Zenith to be able to cater to customer problems. As for Zenith, he just gets the whole laptop in a CKD form from Taiwan to his plant in goa, gets out the screw drivers and assembles the same. These laptops are most probably from the same stables as your Gateway/HIS/Low end Taiwanese manufacturers stables. Stay away from these taiwanese look a likes since its less on the quality that worries me.......but largely its Zeniths approach to after sales service. Also, support for Gnu-Linux on these laptops would surely be and added benefit.

Hi All, Something to mention about RHCE. As someone mentioned earlier 'it's nice to prepare for RHCE' but after getting certified I think the market is still not prepared for a RHCE. For eg. I completed RHCE on August 2004 but still waiting for a good option. There is no adv. in the newspaper Appointments asking for RHCE. So what's the good in going for so much effort. -- Subhamoy

I thought laptops were a part of the pc division of ibm sold to the chineese. Don't use dell. You are dpendent on dell to service you. Unless you are a large corporate, you will need to go down on knees and beg for service. Dell does not support linux on laptops. Hp and ibm you can get service from multiple support centers and they officially sell laptops with linux preloaded. The linux loaded laptops are cheaper by at least 7k. Acer is also good, cheap and supports linux. So does toshiba - yesterday's advt 50k or so. Have a look at zenith laptops. Their quality is suprisingly good. I speak from experiance of friends. >And as for Gnu-Linux - BSD, you should be able get any >freaking GPL'ed application running on them without a >hitch. Make sure you get wifi support since thats the >norm if you will be travelling to europe/us. Most laptops here are sold with wifi 11b standards which are slow and outdated. Only toshiba and zenith have wifi 11g. That is almost 6 times faster and is now the standard in all laptops in western markets. Saswata
