I definitely appreciate the information that has been provided here. Just to be clear, I never intended to ask for information about specific questions on the exam. Information on topics, approaches, etc. is very useful.
On the topic of Virtual Machines, the official Red Hat exam prep guide ( http://www.redhat.com/certification/rhce/prep_guide/) says nothing about VMs. Can someone clarify that, please? Xen is not part of the RHA material, so I'd have to scramble to pick up some knowledge there. Thank you, all, for your contributions.
