Hi Guys,
Hope you all had fun yesterday, unfortunately I was unable to attend due to family constraints. I have just been approached with a job that requires Redhat 7.x experience, I have used Redhat many moons ago and the grey cells are a bit clouded, as many of you know I use SuSe. So what is the best way I can learn Redhat in the next few days i.e. book recommendations with good references to administration for corporate networks ... The book also needs basics as well.
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
Best Regards,
Jamie French

Get hold of a copy of redhat and install it a few times, look in /etc/ lots read the docs on the redhat webpage etc. Read mailing list archives for redhat.... If you only have a few days then getting a book will probably be a bad idea, unless you have time to do what I have suggested and read a whole book....

'running linux' by o'reilly focuses on redhat (for the installation anyway), as does 'linux complete' from.....dunno...big orange thing.
That administration book that you posted was in my local waterstones when I looked yesterday, so perhaps....
As mentioned before, It's easy to blag interviews if you have general knowledge. Find out the basics of redhat and cram after you've got the job is my advice. Oh, and don't slouch or insult the interviewer too.
To put your mind at ease, I wouldn't have thought it matters really.
If you can acquire Red Hat related knowledge before the interview then all well and good, but I'd have far more respect for someone who knew where all the configuration files are and had an understanding of the base Linux system than someone who knew how to use distribution specific administration tools.
Just a thought, go for Jenny's suggestion of an O'Reilly book (you can borrow mine if you can get them from Bury St Edmunds) and demonstrate good Linux knowledge rather than Red Hat specific knowedge.
