RH242: Red Hat Linux Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is both an art and a science - an instinct and a
technique. In Red Hat Linux Troubleshooting (RH242), system
administrators will learn techniques for troubleshooting a Linux
system and how to use the troubleshooting tools available on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. This course is a 4-day, heavily lab-oriented class
designed to help the student learn or improve troubleshooting skills.
Students will gain troubleshooting experience by debugging live,
virtualized systems.
