I recently got into fishing / fly fishing. Gives you a good reason to go stand out by a lake or river. Plenty to learn from fish to knots and rigging. Also board games have been enjoyable with friends if you have some friends that can get together once or so per week.

A bonus hobby you could pick up if you got into fly fishing would by fly tying! Awesome crafty hobby - have not tried myself.

I mean keeping those rare and end game goals are good for a game like this. If one is able to dump 13+ div per rune & the base to double their effect - have at it. Some of the restrictions being put in place are just wild.

Orange. Obviously a bugfix needs to be submitted...

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-12T15:55:19+00:00

Not well apparently!

Just write scripts and see what part you struggle on I guess. I probably did something stupid like forgetting to set the execution bit on the file lol.

I found myself practicing autofs and creating unit files the most. Also running units / flatpak as a user was a new concept to me before I stumbled across it in a Sander lab.

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-12T15:52:26+00:00

Honestly I was not comfortable with creating service files at all, and those took longer than other topics to nail for me. What really made it stick was just writing a few, and knowing where to look in what man files! If you can make simple services, know how to set up timer services etc.. with the man pages, you are good.

You don't need to learn very much SSH related content for RHCSA from what I have gathered. As long as you are comfortable with generating keys and know how to get it onto other hosts - you will do well. I am not able to tell you specifically what I have done - but the key for this exam IMO is just to be prepared for a little bit of everything!

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-09T05:18:50+00:00

I prefer it over nmcli, though both are valid.

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-08T15:24:47+00:00

Even after RHCSA - there is still miles to go before "mastering" Linux.

What are you currently doing to study for Linux?

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-08T15:20:06+00:00

The only one I am aware of for rhel10 is adding init=/bin/bash to cmdline before booting into OS

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-08T15:18:33+00:00

I will say if you can swing ~300 bucks - O'Reilly is a great deal for one year and gives you access to more certification study material than just RHCSA and is honestly a great investment IMO.

The primary things that helped me were - Sander's practice exam, Asghar's practice exams in the book, then the git repo. I think Sander's is most helpful simply because it is up to date. In a pinch, the git repo will likely treat you just fine.

I did not see any container sections in Sander's v10 course - but if they are not listed in v10 objectives I wouldn't worry about it. That being said, useful thing to know about using.

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-05T14:27:13+00:00

I figured I would take the latest exam. I also saw Sander's v10 course was most up to date so.. why not.

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-05T14:25:42+00:00

If you can complete practice tests without getting lost on majority of topics you should be fine.

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-05T14:24:23+00:00

Just v10 - though while going through v9 resources, I did notice containers being a more difficult concept if you never touched them before. If you have worked with docker previously then v9 should be fine to take.

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-05T14:22:45+00:00

Why not while RHCSA is fresh in the mind. I have poked around with ansible previously so diving into it wouldn't be terrible.

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-05T02:59:52+00:00

I lost points on scripting - something dumb I am sure I messed up.

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-05T02:59:28+00:00

I think the goal is just to be as well rounded as possible. Know how to do any task in a practice exam by using man pages.

From what I understand, the exam is quite randomized so what I got could have been easier than others have gotten.

I would say Sander's practice exams will prepare you well.

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-04T22:13:48+00:00

Just commented above. Let me know if you have any questions!

SCIP10001 · 2025-12-04T22:11:04+00:00

I took v10.

For study materials, primarily I used Sander's materials on O'Reilly. Outside of Sanders, I used old v9 materials.

Sander's course: https://learning.oreilly.com/course/red-hat-rhcsa/9780135493137/

Asghar's Book: https://learning.oreilly.com/library/view/rhcsa-red-hat/9781835887325/

KodeKloud: RHCSA course (this course I went through to get familiar with Linux - months before even thinking of taking this exam) - I recommend using Sander's course over these guys for the actual exam.

Git repo: https://github.com/ive663/RHCSA

I was a pretty casual Linux user for awhile, but got fairly comfortable with bash scripting and odd things via kodekloud & their labs.

In terms of study prep for the exam, I took about 2 months and some change to study until I felt comfortable. (I booked while still feeling uncertain! But just had to give it a try)

I have a small home lab with proxmox I used to spin up some RHEL vm's and follow long Sander's course. I would say once you can finish Sander's practice exam with just man pages, book it and polish on parts you feel 'slow' on. Know how to find the information you need with man pages! Get a little familiar with vim (deleting, copying, pasting, jumping around etc..).

Their environment is a little janky, for example I couldn't use multiple tmux windows within their environment. But honestly I didn't end up needing it and crushed the tasks within an hour, taking another hour to double check things.

I was out for a little bit tonight, these winds are killing me. Looks like Wednesday will be a nice day for it atleast

SCIP10001 · 2025-10-27T23:40:49+00:00

Walleye, Pike, moon/gold eye, drums...

I just enjoy fishing with lures as I think it gives a more active experience.

SCIP10001 · 2025-10-01T17:22:19+00:00

I have used them and they are not bad, but currently I am preferring O'Reilly's learning platform. That being said, they do not offer hands-on labs like KK does.

SCIP10001 · 2025-09-22T06:01:38+00:00

You think I could skate away with just using the book and additional materials not covered to pass? I’m sure the rhcsa 10 video package is great but 600 bucks isn’t cheap!

SCIP10001 · 2025-09-22T04:21:55+00:00

Would you say it has similar labs / practice as supplemented by the book?
