[CentOS] exam

2008-06-16 Thread Gergely Buday
Dear CentOS users,

is it possible to prepare for a certified (big North American Linux
vendor) engineer exam with a CentOS install ?

I have heard that the test contains questions on specific GUIs, are
they included in the CentOS distribution?

If big North American Linux vendor is RedHat, than answer will be yes.

If tests doesn't contain any question like Please find logo of big 
North American Linux vendor on your machine or something like, than you 
can use CentOS and manuals directly from that vendor for learning and 
preparing.


Good luck, Sergey.

I assume the Linux vendor you mean is Red Hat, then yes, you can.

 I have heard that the test contains questions on specific GUIs, are
 they included in the CentOS distribution?
I am an RHCA and I did all my preparations for exams with CentOS (except
for the RH423, it uses Red Hat Directory server).
CentOS and Red Hat are more than alike enough for the exams (and the
courses by the way :) ).

Regards,

Michel

hmm, the first you sign when you take a RH exam is a NDA .. so i can not 
talk about the exam otherwise i'd have to kill you ;-)
Joke aside, using CentOS is more than enough to prepare for the 
RHCT/RHCE exam ...

Speaking of preparing for the exam, can someone recommend any good 
books/other study materials that have proved useful?

Hy,

We (a group within my company) prepare with the book from Michael Jang - 
RHCE Study Guide (McGrawHill Osbourne). It is very good and have 
Test-Exams in it.
My thought is that you could prepare good with CentOS, but you can also 
use the original RH-CD/DVD Images (without the Installkey and the RHN 
Account it works fine).


cheers
Henrik

^@ is the nul byte (zero byte).

xxd, included with vi, can show you the hex dump followed by the ascii
one, while hexedit allows you to edit the file either entering the
hexadecimal value or the ascii one.

Anyway, a text file with \000 is very unusual, maybe it got corrupted?

this file.

It's mostly likely not an ASCII file; it's probably UTF16 or similar
so there are two bytes for every character, but the high byte is 0x00
which shows as [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If this is true then
  tr -d '\000'  badfile  goodfile
will most likely fix it.

I've seen strange characters in DOS files before.

What about running dos2unix on it?

# dos2unix file.txt

Or am I thinking something else? Just a thought.

 I've seen strange characters in DOS files before.

DOS files typically have ^M characters at the end of each line and
maybe a ^Z at the end of file.  This is different to using an alternate
character set.

 What about running dos2unix on it?

The manual (at least on 4.5) doesn't specifically say it'll convert
character sets.  It might drop the \000 characters as it goes.  *shrug*

Is 'file' able to identify it?

It may be a unicode RTF document, or an image file like TIF.
