[lugm.org] Linux System Administration

[Ish Sookun]

Hello Irshaad,

For the lab thing, you may build something in VirtualBox. CentOS & Debian
will be good since you're expected to have knowledge of both RPM & DEB
packages. Besides a lot of the questions revolve around the two principal
distributions Red Hat & Debian.

For dummy questions, get your hands dirty with some dumps >>

Cheers!
