I agree. However, I think a MS Windows VM is probably better because then
there are often compatibility issues with WINE for newer, more complex
programs.
Yeap, chickens and pigeons, they all die a miserable death of
baldness..LOL
I agree with you, separate machines to keep the jobs secluded from each
other,

So, any bird with feathers, i.e. any bird at all?

you forgot to add my feather pen and my china ink...
That is why any feather bird never like me at those days
Basically, my idea was to separate your personal computing and data from
anything Cisco.
If you run a separated OS (or even several OS) in either:
- a virtual machine
- Wine, hardened preferably
- or another computer,
then even Javascript or the firmwares aren't much of an issue in terms of

You should not sacrafice your living standards in the pursuit of libre
software. Get the qualification then look at all paths for your life ahead.

To be or not to be.
Have you ever cut grass for weeks or months at the time for a 20 bucks?
I did, To many times at young life.
Have you ever painted a house and scrape iron fences from rust to be
repainted again?
Done that..
Did you ever had to shine shoes and boots for someone?
What I would do in your boat:
- Online services? $$$ and also javascript, most likely non-free.
- Real Cisco equipment? Besides the money, is it required, or just
recommended for the course?
- Run Packet Tracer on Wine: sounds like an option, though I'd add some
Apparmor and Firejail to Wine.
I have to choose a training program founded by the government to be entitled

my answer may have sounded "light winded"and those above ones are more
sensible.
I don't know "the circumstances"as you say.Economic crisis is
worldwide.Assuming you are in the USA ?
To answer your question more directly i know of a developer of Libre software
who is actually doing a
You are misrepresenting my advice to the OP. My advice was to avoid
absolutist thinking and cognitive dissonance--i.e. 'forced to', 'cisco or
flipping burgers' and so on.
Nowhere did I say, or even imply, that starvation was an option.
Nobody, not even rms, thinks a person should die before
Ok i had my beer(actually 2).
I've thinked about it.
You don't know the circumstances ("have to").
Yes is painful to do crummy jobs.
Gonna have a glass of Wine for now.
pragmatist: idealism is good. I myself am a big one, but, starving is not an
option. You don't know where the OP lives, you don't know how bad the economy
is in their country. I live in Italy and I assure you unemployment is
incredibly high and very common here. Starving is not an option.
I think this may lead to a petty argument.
It is all very well us saying "get another job" because we do not know the
circumstances, but more generally it is true that there are other options. So
I would say get the certification if you really need it but keep in mind that
it is just a
I like this advice as it is very concrete. +1
Just an addon... if you ever have the chance to take another job that is
within your expectations (something that you enjoy and pays enough for your
living) I think that you should consider a change. But only when those
requirements are met. Until then do the best you can.
Hey man!
I feel your pain. To a certain extent most of us are actually forced to use
proprietary software in our work place, just some people don't admit it.
Yes, if on has to use a computer which has Windows installed, or watch videos
of something using Flash, you are using proprietary
"Why you didn't answer on the options listed?"
It is important to clarify the first part of what you said.
"I'm unemployed and i have two option:
Do this course or back to flip burgers."
How it could it possibly just be those two possibilities? If you have the
general intelligence and
What would you do if you were in my boat?
Hoist the jib
Hoist the mainsail
trim the jib

set a course
have a beer
relax

If this is not something you want to do, do something else

I'm unemployed and i have two option:
Do this course or back to flip burgers.
Why you didn't answer on the options listed?
"I feel forced to this Proprietary world.But i need food to live,so i have
to."
If you want to do this, that is your choice. To say you are 'forced' to does
not make sense. Nobody has a gun to your head. There are other types of jobs
in the world that will give you enough money so you
Ok, i admit.Have to study for a Cisco certification.
I feel forced to this Proprietary world.But i need food to live,so i have to.
Here's few option:
Run Packet Tracer on Wine
Run GNS3 an then use Cisco firmwares
Do labs with online services($$$)
Use Real Cisco equipment($$$)
