Hi all: Just picked up a copy of "General Linux Exam" used today by DeAnn
Leblanc....and yes "great minds think alike..." I have pretty much decided
that LPI then Redhat is the route I'll be taking!In fact that's more or less
what the book suggests anyway!
It'll help me personally also,as right now I've installed Redhat 6...I can
fool around,do some basic stuff.I even created "me" as a user....getting it
so I can DO anything.....ahhh...that's what I have to learn next..."system
administration\user management!"
Thanks
All
Richard Bligdon
