A few months back, I resolved to myself to be Ubuntu Certified by my next birthday (3rd September). To be Ubuntu certified, you would need to clear three exams: LPI 101, LPI 102 and Ubuntu 199. These can be taken in any order, but you need to clear them all in order to be certified by Ubuntu.I plan on taking them in order. Exam 101, 102 and finally 199. Now, 2-1/2 months down, I have made progress, albeit little. Apart from collecting valuable websites, and guides, I have also covered Command-Line tools and Text-stream processing. I have also read a bit about managing software using Yum and Yast since I was not familiar with those package management tools before. I have installed SuSe 11.1 and also plan on installing Fedora 11. My idea is to work with these Linux distributions and learn more about them in the process. Notice I'm installing an older version of both the Operating Systems so I get a chance to learn the upgrade process. My final aim is to get a working system with all drivers, codecs and updated packages at the end of this effort. However, I've been going slow due to several reasons. I had to finish my requirements with the university, work on my resume and more. But, I'm getting serious about this now. I had a goal and I need to start working on it. I plan on doing so, one topic at a time. I'm starting with topics from LPI 101 objectives. I shall be updating this blog regularly, and whenever I complete a (sub)topic. If I happen to stumble upon good online resources, I will be posting them along with the update. Wish me luck in my endeavor.  May the countdown begin!
