Hi guys,

My first post here, but have been a lurker for while.
I passed the SY0 - 301 yesterday. Just wanted to say thanks to all,
I got some invaluable tips from this site. Much appreciated. :D

I used Darril Gibson's book. A very easy read. I also reinforced my
knowledge with Professor Messer's vids.

Delighted with the pass, on to Linux+ next!

    Thanks a lot guys!. :)
    Congrats! Which distro do you plan on using for Linux+?

    I read here that CentOS was probably the best distro to use for Linux+. What do you reckon?.
    I like Linux Mint a lot!. I would be tempted to reimage my work PC with it, though I can't find all
    the necessary tools I need for work on Linux.

    you can install Linux in a VM, virtualbox is free and easy to use.

    Virtualbox is pretty good. I am using VMware Fusion at the moment on OSX, it is pretty good too.

    What did we ever do before the existence of virtual machines!? :D
