If you are creating your own custom RHEL ISO this is how you make it bootable.
One reason to create your own custom RHEL ISO is to include a custom kickstart file and have the installer kick off automatically on boot.
mkisofs -r -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -boot-load-size 4 -no-emul-boot -boot-info-table -iso-level 4 -o <image_name.iso> <source_folder_name>

Over at Open Source and Enterprise Architecture Blog, Andrig Miller goes into some good detail regarding Large Memory Pages and Java. I plan on implementing these changes in my QA environment today, and will see how things go. I'll cobble together a JMeter test for before and after, and report back here with my results. Neal posted a link to a handy Large Memory Page Calculator, which I'll be using to build my configs.

So after a nerve racking 24 hours later I got my results. What a great early birthday gift to myself!
Congratulations -- you are now certified as a Red Hat Certified
Engineer! Your RHCE Certificate number is 8050093XXXXXXXX.
The attached file is your personal print-ready certificate.
My first try and I got it!
Thank you all for the support and believing in me! Especially my wife (Love you babe!), my friend Adam, and all my colleagues at Plateau (thanks for footing the bill!). Now I can finally freaking relax.

So Day 4 is over and tomorrow is the RHCE Exam. Wish me luck!
Looking back the Rapid Track course fulfilled my expectations which were to fill in the cracks of my existing knowledge. If I don't pass tomorrow, it won't be because I don't know the material, it just means I wasn't fast enough in the exam. Although I have every intention of passing tomorrow and I remain confident I will. At the very least I have gained the confidence to know that what I knew was what I was supposed to know :P
That in itself is worth the experience in my opinion. If you are like me and doubt your knowledge of working Linux experience, take the class and you might surprise yourself!
And with that I'm off to bed to clear my head and let all my past experiences sink in.
Carpe Diem!
