book, but was wondering what level of the enterprise discs I'll need. Im
assuming Id need more than the workstation version. Would the rebuilds be
good enough, or are they too different from the RedHat versions? Thanks to
anyone that can help.

I did a combination. I've been running RHPW since last fall (September)
and learned most of what needed updating from that. That's my
production server. I then purchased a Dell PE400 to play on and beat
silly with multiple installs, intentional breakage, etc. On this guy, I
used a RHEL ES RHN subscription from my office (the system it was bought
for in the office wasn't upgraded to RHEL yet).
Next week I'll be doing the course and exam. I'll find out then if my strategy was successful or not...
Much of this is a good guide on how to prepare for the RHCE. I'm a little worried though, if you're just now starting your studies. I suggest that anyone striving for the RHCE seriously immerse themselves in Red Hat Linux for a solid 6 months before attempting the exam. I'm not talking about running it as your desktop... I'm talking _serious_ work here; installing servers, breaking/fixing servers, learning how the various network services work and how to configure them for a variety of scenarios. Anything and everything you might use in an ISP, webhosting, or back-office (mail/file-serving) environment.
Of course, you might already have years of experience on your belt and are just now focusing on Red Hat. :)
Good Luck!
