Well done!
CentOS and WBEL are pretty near-identical to RHEL. However, the update
mechanisms are different vs. RHN in RHEL for obvious reasons. You should
be OK using these to brush up with, but you might want to get yourself
an eval of RHEL5 just to see what you'll be using on the exam/course.
Evals should be available from redhat.com.
Good Luck, and give me a shout if you end up doing it in Farnborough :)
Cheers,
