When you go through the list above, the first thing that comes to your mind is Network+. That is right. These topics are very much similar to what Network+ covers. And the fact that Novell would accept Network+ instead of this exam for CNE requirements only assures this idea.
One problem in Novell's 050-632 exam is the lack of self-study guides. CramSession offers free exam study guide but its not adequate. It does not cover the whole thing. So, if you are thinking of this exam you might consider taking the course. O perhaps you can read Network+ study-guides and go for Novell's exam.
You might ask why bother going this road when I can do the Network+ exam which is more popular. I might just have the answer for you. It's the cost. Novell's 050-632 exam is about half the price of CompTia's Network+ !!!
I have always thought of CompTia's exams as expensive. And I do not believe that making the exams more expensive would increase its value.
