Don't waste your money on a class. 1) Buy Michael Jang's book: http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Engineer-Linux-Study-Certification/dp/0072264543 2) Work through it, doing every example once as you read and then again once you're done. 3) Download Trouble Maker: http://trouble-maker.sourceforge.net/ 4) Run Trouble Maker several times until you can fix each problem quickly. 5) Review the RHCE guide and write trouble scripts for me to include into Trouble Maker to extend it to fit all the current needs. At that point, you're done. You will know more about Linux than most people that actually use it on a daily basis and should be able to bluff your way into any Linux admin job you may want. -Josh On Tue, Jul 3, 2012 at 3:54 PM, Craig Rosenblum <crosenblum at gmail.com> wrote: > I still have a lot to learn about linux, and would like to become a linux > professional of some kind. > > For the last 6-7 years I have done work with ColdFusion, PHP, SQL Server, > Oracle, mySQL, but mostly as a programmer not as a webmaster or dba. > > What kind of skills and experiences are required to get started as a linux > professional of some sort? > > And what kind of career fields are there? > > Thanks... > > Keep it cool.....it's freaking hot out :P > > Craig > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list >
