The things that I can think off the top of my head that are in ES but not WS include and are listed in the prep guide: DNS server DHCP server FTP server I believe the rest of the stuff you need is in WS but you'll definitely want to check the RHCE exam prep guide at https://www.redhat.com/training/rhce/examprep.html Nothing stops you from adding these packages to a WS environment - you just won't get the support from Red Hat on these particular add-ons. Grab the SRPMS from Red Hat's public FTP server and rebuild them and install on WS. >From Red Hat's web site: Packages that are not in Enteprise Linux WS or Red Hat Desktop include: amanda-server, arptables_jf, bind, caching-nameserver, dhcp, freeradius, inews, inn, krb5-server, netdump-server, openldap-servers, pxe, quagga, radvd, rarpd, redhat-config-bind, redhat-config-netboot, tftp-server, tux, vsftpd, and ypserv. You should also note that you can download a free 30-day demo of ES or AS from http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/eval/ This is a 30-day subscription so you'll be able to keep it current for 30 days. At the end of the subscription period, it won't stop working but you just can't up2date it any more. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
