Week 2
I can't believe is already the second week! Ok here is the power point for this week:
Week 2 Power Point
So I have decided that the Official Linux Release for this class will be Fedora core 14. I had thought I might use Ubuntu or Cent OS but feel that Fedora is better suited for learning the exam essentials. You certainly can use any distro you like, in fact, I encourage you to try out as many Linux Distro as possible. You can do this all for free by downloading Virtual Box and then install the different Distros as VMs.
This week we talked about hardware requirements and considerations for Linux. We installed a Fedora Core VM and got it updated and made a few config changes so that we will be able to better manage the system. If you have a computer at home, I encourage you to try this so that you have a workstation to do extra study. Remember, getting good with Linux takes time and effort. Its just like a friend, the more time you spend with them the better you know them. =)
As for labs, I found something online that is really cool. I was going to write all the labs but instead of re-inventing the wheel, I found an open-source destination for Linux labs. Its at labmanual.org. This week we are going to go through the first two labs.
Lab 1
Lab 2
Remember to take notes on the things you learn in these labs in your notebook. Your note book should be written as a personal Linux reference manual for yourself as well as readable by me.
Ok, keep it up its going to start getting fun from here!

Week 1
Well, I got through it. I apologize again for my voice. Hopefully I will have recovered by next week. Make sure you are reading through chapter 1.
Week 1 Lecture Power Point
I was asked to post a list of books that I thought are good books aimed at teaching linux and not just oriented at teaching for the certification exam. I am going to list these as Amazon links for ease but they are not affiliate links:
Essential System Administration was the tome I cut my teeth on. Its known as the Armadillo book and its a bit out of date but is still considered the bible to Unix administration.
Linux System Administration is another great book specifically on Linux Admin. This has been the bible for Linux Admins for years as well.
Linux In A Nutshell is the best reference book on Linux. This is people that have the basics but need a quickreference when they get stuck on something. This is a reference book. The information is quick and consice and not really a how to book. This one should be by your side whenever you are working.
Did you notice all of these were from the same publisher, O'Reilly? No I'm not related but they do, in my humble opinion, create some of the best Tech related books on the market. They also offer a great service to which I subscribe at Safari Books Online. They have thousands of tech books online and searchable and I cannot tell you how many times this services has save my neck.
I will post more books as I have time to review them. See you next week!.
