RHCSA Study Notes
Below is my collection of study notes for the Red Hat Certified System Administrator exam. This isn’t intended to be a comprehensive study guide, just a collection of vague notes, reference links, and some practice lab exercises.
I took these notes while following along with Sander van Vugt’s RHCSA course purchased through O’Reilly Media. Sander is a great presenter and obviously very knowledgable on the topic. It takes a pretty significant deal of extra effort to study on your own, but it sure beats paying $7500 for a year of access to training materials through Red Hat.
