I thought this was a technical support list for people trying to learn the mandrake systems not worrying about where they post thier replies s wrote: On Thursday 23 August 2001 07:32 pm, Charles Punch wrote: On Thursday 23 August 2001 07:49 pm, Matt Greer escribió: This list is doing a good job cracking down on html, now if only we could do the same for top posters.

I like top posting, but I usually follow suit with what the thread is doing. If I'm the first replier, then it depends if I'm posting throughout, tho due to the repeat of this conversation I mostly try bottom posting.

I'm not sure if you're going for COMPTIA's A+ Certification or you mean A+ as in doubleplusgood. If you mean the former, sorry, can't help you. If you mean the latter, then read Linux Network Administrator's Guide. There's a mirror at: http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/zdv/projekte/linux/books/nag/nag.html It begins with basic TCP/IP and Ethernet networks and goes on to cover lots of stuff including, NFS and SAMBA. - C I am A+ certified from COMPTIA the only problem with it is that the exam is proprietary all the hardware is intell stuff or made for intell and all the software test covers is microsdicks stuff they were going to add linux to the test but billy steped in as microsoft is the largest supporter of comptia they cancelled adding linux to the A+ and came out with a seperate test that cost $800.00. But in answer to your question about a good book I used the EXAM CRAM books they were very good in the lessons and covering the test questions. But it is all microdick stuff, thats all the A+ is.

Re: [newbie] Gettin' certified
Yes it is a good starting point I spent 9 months in school being retrained for this IT buss. I also have the COMPTIA's NETWORK+ and the I-NET+ certs. I have graduated in april and still looking for a job. Very difficult right now but I love building and rebuilding my machines at home and have built a few for family and friends registered linux user: #218333 Dragonlance Michael Mitchell wrote: I also have the A+. Lots of stuff on printers, very easy to overlook. Taken lots of practice exams, definately use the exam cram... Yes, there is no Linux connection. But then it will certify (as designed) that you have attained 6 months of knowledge as a PC tech. A good break in, but not nirvana.
