Post by: Risingstars on April 30, 2015, 10:58:17 AM: I used pretty much all of them. As a matter of fact I'm planning on studying for my Linux exam so I can get that certificate and be certify in Linux. I'm guessing having certificates gives you a higher chances of being a potential candidate in the IT field.....I have quiet the known as a Windows Server Administrator but I still haven't got any certificates or my degree yet....Sucks so much because I almost gave up but I'm still digging through that dirt. On the other side I see $$$...

Windows 10 is out for developer as well....My brother got his hands on it and I did too, the only thing that really changes was there is now a start icon with a task bar.....

Most people in the industry don't pay attention to what the certification test is like and if you were to ask me, I would say "It must be like Microsoft where it's multiple choice versus practical and therefore, people can just memorize answers."

If you say you know linux, they'll test you on it; everything from the simple stuff to shell scripting.

If you're trying to get a job, focus on learning CentOS or SuSE. For your desktop, install Fedora since it's RPM based.

If you're doing it just to learn and play with it at home, Ubuntu or Fedora will do. LinuxMint is based on Ubuntu or Debian...just depends on which package you choose.

But in general, most(maybe all) are either based on RPM or DEB these days.

Stick with RedHat and/ or Sun Solaris - if you are going to get a job in IT

I like that idea. O0

Post by: tsabsuav on May 12, 2015, 08:13:27 PM: I used Ubuntu several years ago and haven't touch it since. It's a great OS, just couldn't use it because I'm use to accessing systems remotely and couldn't figure out how with Ubuntu. I guess I will stick to Windows for now.
