[clug] Linux Certification?

[Steve Barnes]

Sorry, my previous info regarding the RHCE exam cost was a little 
misleading (it was a while ago). To obtain the "full" RHCE certification 
you have to sit and pass both the RHCSA and the RHCE exam, so total fees 
would in fact be 2x $715.
  so where do get the resources or training material thats required
