[luau] Going Rate for certs:

[Warren Togami]

If you are able to do self study, try going down the skill checklist on
the RHCE site and think to yourself how well you know a certain
subsystem.

Build yourself a home network of 2 or 3 computers, one being a NAT
routing box sharing your internet connection and try out all the various
server applications in Linux.  You must be familiar with many of them to
pass RHCE and some other exams.

If you find yourself lost at a certain checklist item, please post to
the list and I'll give pointers on how to get started.  Please be
specific in your goals when you post, and do remember to use much
Google.
