The current Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT) and Red Hat Certified
Engineer (RHCE) exams are based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, which uses
Xorg.  So learn Xorg, not XFree86.

SCSI and IDE drives are treated no differently in Linux, other than SCSi
drives have the prefix  "sd" and IDE uses "hd".

As far as the exams go, a good reference is the Red Hat Training website.
They have a list of topics that are covered on the exam.

As far as studying for the exam, when I took my RHCE (long long ago), what I
did is set up a test machine at home and practiced on it.  I took the RH300
class (RHCE Prep Course) and every night, I'd do the lab exercises we did in
class over and over until I understood them and knew them inside out.

I'd also recommend (if you can) to take the RH133 course (Sys Admin + RHCT
exam), or if you're doing the RHCE, the RH300.  It gives you 4 days of
classes (read PRACTICE) with the exam on the last day.  Also, you can use
the course lab exercises as a good study guide.  Red Hat bases their tests
on what's taught in those two courses.
