Thank you for the tips. I will get the book. I know I still have a lot to learn about linux, mostly got into linux because i can't stand win8 :)<div><br></div><div>And yes I am looking for employment, but honestly I am still a beginner at linux. </div>

<br>
1) Buy Michael Jang's book:<br>
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Engineer-Linux-Study-Certification/dp/0072264543" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Engineer-Linux-Study-Certification/dp/0072264543</a><br>
<br>
2) Work through it, doing every example once as you read and then<br>
again once you're done.<br>
<br>
3) Download Trouble Maker: <a href="http://trouble-maker.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://trouble-maker.sourceforge.net/</a><br>
<br>
4) Run Trouble Maker several times until you can fix each problem quickly.<br>
<br>
5) Review the RHCE guide and write trouble scripts for me to include<br>
into Trouble Maker to extend it to fit all the current needs.<br>
<br>
At that point, you're done. You will know more about Linux than most<br>
people that actually use it on a daily basis and should be able to<br>
bluff your way into any Linux admin job you may want.<br>
