Greetings All,
It's been a long week for me how about you all? Friday was my first "LPI" study group with host Chad of the "Linux Basement". The meeting covered Chapt. 4 of O'Reilly's "LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition" (I'll include the links @ the end of this rant). Also this week I've started heavily building my linux knowledge foundation base by watching video tutorials and following along click by click. The current video set of tutorials I'm working with is "LinuxCBTDebian3". I'm working with Debian for a couple or reasons: 1. Ubuntu is a Debian based linux OS, this was the OS that brought me back to linux. I'm okay on Ubuntu but I really wanted to learn the base of what it was built off of. 2. I like their package manager APT. 3. In my eyes if you have a distro you like you should learn what it was built off of. That's my rant for today hope you all in joy the week to come and here are the links I promised:

Catch-up Day
Greetings all,
Today was a catch-up day for me. I finally finished up my reading and study for classes. Also I got the chance to lay out my study plan for my first Cert, CompTia's Linux + . I'm currently watching a training video from Learnkey on "Linux+ (using Redhat8)Certification" and reading the Linux+ Cert. bible (Finished Parts I &II). Those chapters were basic information on what Linux is and how to install it. This was easy reading, it was geared towards mainly new users. Since picking Linux back up in Jun.08 with "Ubuntu 8.04" this was a nice little review. Today was the Inauguration of our new president Barack Obama! Change has come. Today was a first in a long time where I shed a tear of joy, "Let Freedom Ring"! Will thats it for today, I'm putting in my copy of CBT Debian (disc2) on and cranking up my server for a little cram session. Good night all.

Intro
Greetings all,
This is my first official blog. I started this blog after doing a call in show with dave yates of the "lottalinux links" podcast. I also wanted to start this blog because of my interest with Linux and the F/OSS movement and to help me keep track of my progress towards becoming Linux+ and LPI certified. My goal is to be a Sys Admin,Programmer and a basic Linux tutor(I do mean Basic). Since this is my first blog I will keep it short and sweet, I can be reached on twitter under the handle "itt_tech", and on identi.ca under the handle "luthaloafy". Goodbye for now.
