Arch-Linux
Morning Guys,
Working on my ICND 200-105. Once I have that complete, I am going to start on my CompTIA Linux+.
One of the guys at work has mentioned Arch Linux, which I have had a dabble with. Would this be a good study tool for Linux+ or should I focus more on a standard distro like Ubuntu?
Thanks

Stick to more mainstream distros that you're likely to find in use in a corporate environment.Have: CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, eJPT, GCIA, GSEC, CCSP, CCSK, AWS CSAA, AWS CCP, OCI Foundations Associate, ITIL-F, MS Cyber Security - USF, BSBA - UF, MSISA - WGU

So it will make your learning experience more complex than it needs to be when you memorize commands for the multiple choice exam.

Security+, eJPT, CySA+, PenTest+,

Optionsprdemon Member Posts: 54 ■■■□□□□□□□Is this going to be a VM or on actual hardware?
I only use ARCH on hardware and everything else is a VM. Your gonna need a APT and YUM based VM ( I don't remember seeing OpenSuse's zypper on there). That's what I did.
