You're my savior on this exam. I wanna say special thanks to you. I already watched the whole of your playlist. And I just PASS my RHCSA Exam today. Once again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH ♥️ I got high score too: 270/300. All 100%, except the containers chapter.
Congratulations, and thank you for your kind words! I'm glad my content was helpful for you. Feel free to share the playlist with anyone who might also benefit!
Congrats
Can you share the study resources
Yeah, the containers part was tough for me as well. I can say that it's the most challenging...
how much time it took u to pass the test
I did pass the exam yesterday and I would like to thank you for this series. Not only for your technical content, but more for how you prepare for a challenge ahead. Thanks!
Congratulations on the pass! And thank you for the kind words! I'm glad my videos were helpful.
Hi Eddie,
thank you for this. Your videos inspired me for my learning topics and gave me confidence for the exam.
I passed the RHEL9 EX200 this week - partly thanks to you of course.
Cheers!
Congratulations on your pass! I'm happy my content was helpful for you :)
Hi, from which sources did you prepare for?
@@user-im5pi3ct7g Just these videos and the official Red Hat Course Ware the readable stuff, not the videos or classes
@@GobbozNetDE what do you mean official Red Hat Course the readable stuff? I am not able to find that on their website, just the video courses for $3400 .
@@sergiol.3755I did the RH124 and RH134. There used to be a self-paced readable class. can't find it anymore. To be honest I had to search again and again back when I learned, I remember being enraged about how badly organised Red Hat's Learning Center is... is really ****.
I've came across your video and found it helpful for my RHCSA exam prep. Recently I've passed the CompTIA Linux Plus and wanted to explore further on Red Hat Linux Enterprise since CentOS is what I'm most familiar with. I'm excited to see your videos in the future and hopefully pass the exam.
Good luck with your exam prep. Remember my videos are of my own practice sessions when I was preparing for the exams. While I try to be accurate, I don't consider them tutorials, since I was learning the material myself at the time.
Subscribed! Thank you Eddie for the content, very informative.
I'm glad you enjoyed the content. Thanks for subscribing!
What a truly nice guy with great advice - Thanks, Eddie!! :)
Thank you! I'll be pursuing the RHCA in 2024 (maybe sooner, depending on some variables). I hope to make a smiliar video about it when I'm done :)
Well explained and perfectly clear, thank you for all those wonderful advice ✊🏻
You're welcome! :)
Thank you for answers. It's really great.
You're welcome!
I love the way you explain it, you make me question do I still exist? Thank you for giving me the right amount of confidence that i need for this!
Thanks, I think :). On existing, you might need to consult René Descartes!
Passed the exam this week. These Videos were really helpful. Thank you Eddie!
can i pls buy your study guide
@@nathanielsua7218 my study guide? I studied with the official red hat materials and free resources, mainly youtube Videos like this one
Congratulations! I'm glad my videos were useful!
Hello there,
How do you reset ROOT password when GRUB_TIMEOUT=0? I mean, boot-menu does not stay long enough to press “e” or make a selection?
Thank you
Where on the website do they show the detailed exam objectives? Everything I see is just general overview of the exam .
I’ve enjoyed doing the RHCSA so far and about a 1/4 way through but I don’t think I’ll actually take the exam as on Indeed searches it isn’t popular at all in the UK. Thanks for this informative video though. I really like how practical RHCSA is, much better than CCNA.
Are there any other practical exams like RHCSA/RHCE?
The Red Hat exams are the only ones I know that are practical exams for Linux technologies. I'm sure there are good things to learn from the LPIC exams and others. My preference is with the practical exams, since I tend to think better when doing rather than when playing question trivia :)
i cant download virtual box on my mac, is there any other substitute i can use???
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with virtualization options for Mac since the shift to their ARM architecture. If you have an old computer around, you could probably install Fedora (or RHEL from the Red Hat Developer Subscription) or another distro and get KVM going to run some RHEL VMs to practice.
Nice content!!!
Thank you!
Which CentOS version should I download? CentOS linux or CentOS stream.
At this point (June 2022), I would consider just getting RHEL as a part of a free developer subscription. That way you're preparing for the exam on the exact OS that you'll be using. If you want to go to the CentOS route, I'd probably use Stream, since that's the future of the project.
Hey everyone,
I just scheduled my RHCSA Exam from Houston on Dec. 20th 2021 for 18:15(24 hour clock).
Please, what is the corresponding time for Houston?
I know that Houston time is GMT-6. Is that mean 18:15 - 6 which is 12:15(Houston)? or just 18:15 Houston?
I need clarification guys!
I hope you were successful with your exam!
@@EddieJennings , I cleared the RHCSA(243/300) exam on January 5th, 2022.
It was a bit challenging, but I got it down.
I'm building a personal lab for advanced research, learning and practice! There are so many opportunities for a RHCSA on the market.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
And thank you for your contents.
Hi for the Rhcsa exam, what are the prerequisite courses? As someone absolutely new to Linux, where should I start?
The LPI essentials is a good place to start
I did LPI Linux Essentials before RHCSA, but that was more out of a "I wanted a credential in something." You don't *have* to start there, but if you are truly "absolutely new, never touched a Linux distribution ever," it would be a good starting point. Remember the goal of RHCSA or any other cert: Chase the skills, rather than the cert. Look at the objectives covered for a certification, and if those are the skills you want (need) to learn, then learn them and at the end take the exam to get a credential.
Hey Eddie, I'm a newbie to tech. I wanted to know what virtual machine do you use to practice the RHCSA objectives?
Agreed. Since Red Hat’s developer program is free, I’d go ahead and just use a RHEL 8 VM for your studies. I didn’t discover the dev program until later in my learning.
Centos 8 or RHEL 8 on KVM is okay.
@@TriDocs thanks
@@EddieJennings ok thanks
I went on the red hat website to look for the exam objectives but did not find anything as detailed as what you are saying. Also I took the free skills assessment they provide and wanted to get the training for RH124 course and the price is $3400.00 us dollars. Who can afford that? I am thinking of just buying the Red Hat RHCSA 9 Cert Guide EX200 by Sander Van Vugt book. Is all the info I need to learn in that book in your opinion. Thank you for the great videos.
Thank you for watching!
Here is what I found regarding the current EX200 exam.
www.redhat.com/en/services/training/ex200-red-hat-certified-system-administrator-rhcsa-exam?section=objectives
@@EddieJenningsthank you
How you doing sir? I went to red hat and couldn't find the version the current exam is. Do you happen to know of it's still version 8 or 9, etc? Thanks
I'm well, and thanks for the question. I just checked for RHCSA, and it isn't clear. It looks like the Red Hat training courses are for RHEL 9, so I would assume the exam is too. I'd suggest contacting Red Hat to make sure though.
@@EddieJennings thanks, will do!
Hy Eddie how are you I am new from Linux I am start from Linux so which courses are given
It depends on what you want to do. Are you wanting to do systems administration, development, use Linux as a general desktop computer environment, etc?
are there any tutorials or online course i could take to get me ready
Yes. I used Linux Academy (now A Cloud Guru) as my initial and primary method of study. After that I went through the Sander Van Vugt book as a review. As a final prep, I went through all of the posted objectives from Red Hat (see my practice session playlist ruclips.net/p/PLgYy5YCbiYbHh1ST5__ffj99eAjVfAwgy)
I know Red Hat offers its own training, and I'm sure there are other online RHCSA resources other than Linux Academy. As far as what it will take to "get you ready," that's specific to you. I would think for the average person, simply watching online content won't be enough. You'll need to practice the content you've watched until you become familiar with it.
Sander Van has his video series.
Hello, Is RHCSA is worth doing in 2022? or one should move to devops?
That's a good question. I'd say the answer is "it depends." If you're a person who has zero experience administering Linux (particularly RHEL-based) systems, then I would say RHCSA is worth pursuing. While, I have yet to work in a 100% commited-to-the-devops-mindset environment, I would say if you're wanting to work in said environment working with infrastructure, you want to have a good system administration background. RHCSA is one way to start building that background.
Hey Eddie, as someone who is slightly new to Linux w/ months of experience and basic understanding of Linux, do you recommend taking the RHCSA? Or is taking the LPIC-1 a good prerequisite (from a knowing of Linux perspective) to attain the RHCSA. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for watching! I think the RHCSA is good for gaining some fundamental knowledge. I did the LPI Linux Essentials a while ago just to see if could pass *something.* After that I chose RHCSA because it aligned with my interest (Red Hat ecosystem) and the exam is hands-on rather than multiple guess. I wouldn't consider LPIC-1 a prereq for RHCSA as they're testing different things. From what I've seen LPIC strives to be vendor-agnostic, where as RHCSA is specific to doing things with RHEL; however, many of the fundamentals are just that fundamentals (such as LVM functions the same on RHEL, Debian, etc.).
It *seems* the Red Hat certs are a bit more respected because you have to do hands-on stuff, but I can say from personal experience that I have not been offered a job simply because I have two Red Hat certs. I think in the end you should look at the objective sets for each exam and ask youself which aligns better with your learning goals.
Hello Eddie ?..
I believe your contents are goods compared to different comments from other viewers.
And Can I ask you please to create a dedicated playlist here on your channel for RHCSA Preparation with hands on lab ?..
I mean, can you combine your Videos in 1 single playlist please ? 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks
I mean from 1st video course to the last, in 1 playlist for RHCSA.
Thanks for watching!

Remember that these just what they're titled: my practice sessions when I was preparing for the exams. They're not meant to be tutorials.
@@EddieJennings Thanks for the quick reply...
Can you create their playlist here on your channel, and number them as per below, to know which one to begin with...

Thanks...👌🏽👌🏽
Oh ! Sorry !!...
I've noticed the links you provided are the same playlist I was looking for.
Thanks again... 🙏🏽
Woow what a great video
Thanks very much I think after studying this with my ccna certification I easily apply for a network administrator assistant please reply me if I'm the right path
Thank you! Always remember the goal is to acquire the skills. Certifications (usually) provide a curriculum or objectives to follow so you learn skills in an efficient, meaningful manner. Earning the certification is the added bonus, since the real goal is to get the skills.
With that out of the way, the real questions to answer are "What do you want to do (for your job/career), and what skills to I need to land the position I want?" Answering that may or may not reveal a certification path that can help guide you to the skills. "Network administrator" has varied meanings depending on the context and size of the business, so I can't give you a clear answer, but again, focus on the skills you need to do the things you want.
@EddieJennings is true but when I had my ccna I try applying until no avail I gave up and now I'm still doing self studying
Eddie, I wish you organized all the RHCSA Videos in one playlist, so there's some order. I am pretty sure you could be getting thousand of views soon. There's no way, you are so low in views with this material.
Philly, I do have a playlist for the RHCSA stuff: ruclips.net/p/PLgYy5YCbiYbHh1ST5__ffj99eAjVfAwgy
I’m working on dividing some more of my content into playlists to make it easier for viewers to find.
Hey there 👋 sander van vugt is a good instructor. You can get all his content for a fair price on o'reilly (learning platform) for all the new kids on the block. He's got 20 years experience, hope this helps. Good luck everyone.
I'll be using Sander Van Vugt's RHCE book as part two of my RHCE prep, just like I did for RHCSA.
@@EddieJennings so whats was the part one of the RHCSA prep?
Man, no homo, but I really like your voice. You easely would pass as a audio book narrator.
Anyway, thx for the info. Just wanted to ask: I would like to become devops one day (all I have is some not serious experience in programming)
I learned some stuff about networking (subnetting, tcp/ip, http, udp, tftp and so on... just scratched the serfice)
And I began to put all my effort to pass CCNA, but someone on the internet said that to get the job as a beginner in 2021 in that feild you should know at least something about networks (ip adresses, mac adress, subnetting, tcp/ip and so on, osi model) but what you really shoudl focus on is this Red Hat exam. Is that right? They essentially said learn Red Hat and Clouds and you will get a job.
Sry for my english.(Haven't practised it for a while 😁) I think you'll get what I mean. And hi from Russia 🇷🇺👌🏻
Thanks for watching and for the compliment. I, myself, am slowly moving to more "devops" roles. I use quotes around devops, as it's more of a mindset than a job. In my experience as a system administrator having some fundamental knowledge of networking is always a good thing. As far as Red Hat is concerned, I think you could argue RHCE is more geared toward "DevOps" since it's mainly focused on Ansible as of RHEL 8, and to earn the RHCE cert you must pass RHCSA. I'd say becoming familiar with AWS and Azure is becoming (if not already) more of an essential skill needed for today's system administrator. Both of which are on my list to learn about. As far as distributions, Ubuntu has a good bit of market share and if you were starting at nothing, it may make more sense to start there.
I chose the Red Hat exams, as it gave me a curriculum to follow; though, I haven't decided if I'll pursue more after RHCE.
@@EddieJennings thx a lot for the response
You look like healthy version of tom cruise....yeah u realy are!
I'll have to take your word for it :)
Yeah, they realy look alike
This was not helpful.
Totally waste of time.
Too much talkative guy.
