The results are in

Wow, that was fast.  They said they’d have the results of the RHCE exam posted sometime in the next 3 business days (which would mean sometime next week), but I had an email waiting for me when I got home tonight with the results.  I passed.  So I’m now officially a Red Hat Certified Engineer.

The exam is done

So I think the exam went pretty well.  I know I passed the first half, I’ll get the results of the second half and the overall sometime in the next three business days.  Now I have to get out of here in a hurry to try to get home ahead of the incoming storm at home.  It’s likely I’ll be driving at least part of the way through the middle of a blizzard.  Originally I was planning on staying here another day (I’m in Chicago for the class), and heading home tomorrow, but the weather forecast looks like if I don’t go now I’ll be stuck here until Tuesday or so.

The class and the exam were a lot of fun.  Lots of challenging problems and it was a lot of fun to fix them up. 🙂 I did learn enough new tricks from the class part to have made it well worth my while taking the class.  I’d highly recommend it to anyone with good Linux experience that’s interested.  Just make sure you have an employer willing to pay for it because it’s expensive. 🙂
