Hello everyone, I've decided to make this thread to motivate myself further in order to obtain a CompTIA Linux+ certificate. After seeing the other progress threads, I got really hyped into making one. So a little background on myself, I started using Linux when I was about 16 years old. I got hired at a web hosting company and climbed the ranks where I ended up as "Linux Internal Support". I would pretty much just troubleshoot Apache, MySQL, Mail, & PHP issues on the cPanel/WHM servers and sometimes write small scripts to automate things or save time. I left that hosting company when I was about 19 to really focus on my school work, at the time I went from pursuing a Construction Management Degree to a Marketing Degree, to a last minute Computer Science Degree (I was running away from my true calling hehe). So since I have to take more Math courses in order to transfer over to a University, I decided to pursue some certificates to make my resume look pretty? So here I am, at 21 pursuing a computer science degree and some certificates.
Originally I was going for the LPIC-1 certificate only but then I found out about the "Get the Linux+ cert and you can get the LPIC-1 & OpenSuse Cert" (Also heard about the Novell Cert) so why not? The plan is to follow my book's outline which is, Chapter 1-5 then take the first exam, then Chapter 6-10 and take the last exam to gain the Linux+ Certificate.
