<div dir="ltr">Re: virtualization. OpenStack is very hot right now. Almost nobody has a lot of skills (or so I hear from recruiters who are trying to fill dev-ops roles). KVM is also really hot right now. If you have 2-5 years experience in those skills and an equivalent skill level in Linux admin, you could have a really good-paying job tomorrow. There is budget for dev-ops admins with those skills right now.<br>

I worked for AT&T, then got into their mini-computer work where
we started off by going to a 7-week bootcamp of
UNIX/hardware/software/programming classes, then I took 40-80 hours
a year of more classes ( AT&T certificates). most of that was
UNIX, but some just hardware and (UGH) windows. Then I installed a
linux box in our lab, and started playing with Linux at home.
Switched to Linux at home full-time many years ago! I also ran
around the country for 3 years installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux
on client boxes to install an AT&T application, so I would
agree, run Fedora at home, fire up a CentOS server and play with it.
learn the menus, learn the command line, GOOGLE is your friend, of
course ALE.org and the CentOS & Fedora email lists..<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
