Hi Folks,
I need to make a book recommendation to a friend to bring him up-to-speed in the "Tao of Linux" as quickly as possible. He has been providing administrative support for about 160 Windows desktops/laptops for about five-years, but now finds himself in the situation where his future employment depends on his getting "certified" in Linux. Certification in this case means passing both CompTIA Linux+ tests. He already has passed CompTIA's Security+.
My friend does all his work from the Windows GUI and has very little knowledge of the command-line environment. He doesn't even know the MS-Dos command-line environment and batch files very well.
So I'm thinking he's going to have a rough time of it. I hate to use the word, but as you all know, Linux/UNIX and Windows have completely different paradigms on many levels. He's going to have to learn a new philosophy as well as new concepts and commands.
Can anyone suggest a path forward for a Windows Weenie?
Thanks, Lew Hi Rute? http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz
Else maybe on of the study books from CompTIA at least would help focus on what's required. http://www.comptiastore.com/category_s/36.htm -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.32.27-0.2-default up 9 days 16:18, 2 users, load average: 0.06, 0.06, 0.01 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 260.19.26 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
