Greetings all,
Yeah I know I know, I say the same thing every post. Sorry for the delay. Now a days I find myself getting busier and busier. I've finally have all the tools I need to knock out my two certs next month. For those who haven't been following me I'm currently studying for my LPIC and Net+ certs. I've broken it down to even days get Net+ study time and LPIC get the odd days. The reason I want to get my Net + is I'm currently an CNS student @ ITT Tech (Norf). My LPIC because I like Linux and the whole Open source thing. In the mist of my studying I'm making plans to attend the Southeast Linux Fest being held in SC. this summer. Well gotta go for now still doing homework for class tomorrow. TTYL

Long Time, Sorry to all.
Greetings to all,
I'm so so sorry it took so long to come back to this. Last month was rough all around, but classes started up this week and I'm back in the swing of things. Just a little fyi, I'm only taking two classes @ ITT-Tech this go around. Those are Linux (lol) and XP Pro :-( . Last month I'd slowed down on my studies for the LPIC and Linux+ but since I have a fresh start I'm hitting them full force. I'm cutting this short since I'm still in class right now but rest a sure no more slacking.
L8tr for now.

Fedora 10
Greetings all,
Sorry for the late post but me and my family have been sick for the last week. We've been eating chicken noodle soup and wrapping up in blankets. Today I hit the books hard playing catch-up. Today I also loaded Fedora 10 on my laptop. I'm trying to learn and get a handle on rpm based distro's so what better to run the Fedora. I still have my test server running Debian etch and I'm in the process of learning Apache. To help with getting all this done I've been listening to past episodes of "Linux Reality" with Chess Griffin. He did some excellent tutorials on building a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySql,PHP,Perl,and Python) stack. That's it for now I'm not @ a 100% yet so I need some rest, til next time. L8tr

Building my foundation.
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.
