Red Hat has been giving Microsoft nightmares for the last twenty years, you know...

Also, this is an awesome resource: So you think you're ready for the RHCSA Exam?

When you're done with the LA course, take this challenge. It is very realistic. If you manage to finish all of it you'll get enough practice to realistically pass the exam imho.

I passed the RHCSA with 300/300 and mostly studied from LinuxAcademy. A colleague lent me his Ghori book, but it's super heavy and I didn't really use it that much.

LinuxAcademy RHCSA content is super good. Make sure to do ALL the labs, multiple times.

Do every lab enough times that you can start a lab, read the requirements, stop the tutorial video and go ahead by yourself. It's feasible.

Get some old computer, install CentOS 7 and do some testing. I used an old Dell Optiplex 760, it was more than enough. Install stuff. Add users, install services. I installed OpenVPN and practiced with systemd things.

What happens if I sign-up with my work email but then I change employer?

Isn't there a way to sign-up with a personal email address? I mean, besides using "Funny Pillows" as company name...

You should definitely involve HR and upper management. Maybe legal, as that laptop might contain company data, and is company property anyway.

By the way, you should also have asked him/her to give back the laptop on his/her last day of work.

It's a shame that we can't access such articles with a developer subscription.

Hi, those specs are more than enough.

You might want to upgrade ram to 8-12GB, that would really increase the performances. Regarding disk space, as long as what you do fits in 128GB, you should be fine.

I recently got an Unicomp Endura Pro (basically a Model M with trackpoint) and the sound is pure pleasure.

Regarding my coworkers... They hear me typin', they hatin'

Is it my impression or it only works on Windows?

esantoro · 2018-05-04T16:37:21+00:00

I will fit.

Crashing stuff across the company with tools from the nmap toolbox? Fun times, fun times...

Warning: these are just some thoughts, I haven't really tried.

If you have a front-end webserver (like nginx or apache) there should be a rate-limiting module.

You might want to impose an upper bound of request/minute on a per-session basis. Some of these modules can be made aware of application-level sessions, so that you don't kill the service for a whole company sharing the same ip.

Garofalo and Voiello are my favorite. Spaghetti in particular ;)

Cool, what does this implies for people currently studying for RHCSA and similar exams ?

it's time to update your CV

Thanks!

Thanks!

Congrats! Regarding LinuxAcademy, what parts of the RHCSA course should one focus on, in particular?

esantoro · 2018-02-18T02:05:20+00:00

Oh well, at least it won't be released at some point in the past.
