always feels good to get some confirmation on the fact you know what you're doing.

Thanks!

Fortunately, I took the rapid track course prior to the exam... having been mostly a Solaris admin in the past and mostly OS-oriented, I'd never set up some application-level things like Squid before. The class was definitely a help on the applications side and a good introduction to Red Hat's many tools that they provide to simplify some things (though I still think /etc/sysconfig is a mess).

Congrats!

Good job!

yeah, I might have figured out it was supposed to be "nice" but I'm just clueless enough to have likely missed the connection to between rhce and nhce. :)

There's nothing too obtuse for you! /me runs.

It's always nice to expand one's knowledge, and, be able to add the cert to the resume. :-)

I'm supposed to be working on my CLP [novell.com]. I really need to get a replacement motherboard so I can have a test machine again.

The cool thing is: I am using what I learned in the rapid track course right now. I am connected to a hotel's unencrypted Wi-Fi access point. Well, that just won't do for sending passwords and such over the 'net. So I set up a squid proxy at home, which I'd never done before until the class. I'm using SSH to tunnel a local port to my squid proxy, so all my web traffic is now encrypted.

That is very cool. At work, our Linux guys do things like that, and it has been really helpful for testing inbound communication problems from outside our firewall.
