I find it really amusing that you went out of your way to say "despite what the Slashdot summary says", when in fact, it said "According to this story on Yahoo,.."

18, and won't settle for a job that I don't get to call most of the shots. Thats how I work, I use slackware at home, and if it's good enough for home, it's good enough for work.
"I can't imagine working for a company that activly and supports redhat on the server end." I'll forgive your grammer, but why such a statement? That was an incomplete statement, I can't remember what was susposed to be after "activly", maybe promotes?
I wasn't so much ranting, but mad because I couldn't get any further information on what the test involves. Linux is such a wide topic, how can you sum it up in one little test?
Books in a bookstore? Redhat in 24 hours? I think the book that slackware supplies, if it's as good as it was back in 3.4, is enough to get you by. Anything else like "Apache for morons" wouldn't be to distribution specific.
We'll see what happens, either way I will probably end up taking this test, weather it be based around redhat or not (Unless it has linuxconf tied into it, I'd draw the line there).
I'm reading over the "Linux+ Exam Objectives Outline" and I'm now wondering as I see the bullet:
Package Management What kind of package management is this? Red hat? Debian? Slackware?
Am I at fault, because I don't use a red hat system (Why would anyone use a redhat system, when they can use Debian/Slackware). Do I have to study things I won't use? I don't use redhat, and if I did, would rpm2tgz and installpkg file.tgz be using their package system?
Do I have to use horrible standards I don't believe in, when there is no standard to being with? With windows, sure you can use omniHTTPD instead of IIS, but since windows is a standard, and it developed it's own webserver, thats the accompanyed standard. However, linux has no such standards, you can use any webserver you wish.
Shell Scripting What kind of shell scripting? Am I forced to use Perl? Bash? Tcl? Can I use PHP, which I use for shell scripting (Don't knock me on this, it's just like using perl for the shell, and it's nice to be able to change one variable, and make it into a web based script for remote administration).
Will they have sample questions/guidelines better than these? Is this why it's in beta? I can't imagine working for a company that activly and supports redhat on the server end. Will this certification promote this?
In my own expirence (IMOAFAG), windows* is incredibly slow on this particular computer, and windows98 happens to randomly freeze up in predictable intervals (me too, 2k was the only worthy windows of this machine).
I like my linux and its speed.
I use blackbox to get rid of bloatware, I use konqueror to use already public parts (big fan of kwrite) and I run a few vnc servers for friends. Speedy devil. I was particulary interested in what your hardware configuration was, weather you run x386 binaries on a 686, etc etc. Learning is 1/4 the battle.
What distribution are you running?
What kernel?
What version of X11?
Whats your video card?
Hardware acceleration on that video card?
What version of KDE?
pc100+ ram?
and wrote the.c file. (linux)
which was inspired from the other.c file (freebsd)
Now
he didn't bother to rewrite the header file because:
a:) It'd confuse him, so he kept the same consistancy
b:) It's a header file, how many ways can you stuct a header file differntly

do you not understand?
bequiet you, the robots beat us, they are alot more smarter than YOU.
Downloading a file freely, or going to the store and paying 200$ to play something, is alot differnt than choice.
Microsoft dictates this standard, and it is not free, you have to pay to use it.
maybe his windows partition randomly stops working (BSOD) and does not boot anymore?
Like mine.
thats what you think ;)
Your the whole reason my argument exists, I thank you for providing the real life example on why I ranted about this.
Better yet, send me money. :)
I have 2$ sitting in the bank. Full time in school, 18. Had a minium wage job I worked 5.5 hours a week. Yes that is an excuse, I loved my job.
100$ per exam, is this america?
Double that for Canadian prices. 200$ is a paycheck for me.

yeah
what is it
500 600$ to take the test?
A great deal of money indeed, not all of us have italian or serbian parents who can lend you a grand whenever your in a fuss. (Live in Niagara, learn)

and tell me how I am a troll.
I dare you.
Come on.
put those dukes up.

I don't belive you.
can I ask a few questions?
What distribution are you running?
What kernel?
What version of X11?
Whats your video card?
Hardware acceleration on that video card?
What version of KDE?
pc100+ ram?
so he copyed the header file
.c file. (linux)
.c file (freebsd)
and wrote the

b:) It's a header file, how many ways can you stuct a header file differntly
..
can you explain to me
why people who don't use GUI editors
can't copy/paste?
please?
try to tell me?
Why they can't copy and paste?
please?
thank you very much.
:)
I was thinking Virtual Machine, but that did not make sense.
very good point.
what the fuck are you on?
umm..
what do we have to do?
if I select apache from the package list in slackware
it's installed..
no fuss
/var/lib/apache/htdocs is the root dir.
planes are also jets
jet's are also equiped with missles, guns, bombs.
jets are weapons.
WEAPONS KILL PEOPLE
I seriously think your dreaming.
