I was an MCSE back in the NT 4.0 days. That was before Al Gore invented the internet.

I’ve been using computers since the TRS 80s, owned a 8088 that came with MS DOS 3.3, and have basically stayed in that track till now.

Never got serious about Linux, sure, I’d take an old workstation and load Linux, play around with it for a couple days, then get bored or lost, and give up. It wasn’t something I really knew what to do with.

Fast forward to now. I just started working with a web hosting company, I’m currently in the call center supporting WordPress installs, which isn’t rocket science. But the servers are all running Linux (CentOS), and Linux Admin seems to be a good career growth path.

This book is easy to read, and so far its making sense. I’ll be picking up a used computer next week to do some learning with. I feel pretty confident that based on how the book is put together, I can go in steps, do what I need to do, and learn as I go. The book was written for people like me, who have computer backgrounds, but not in Linux. The basic concepts are the same, just sometimes terms are different. Linux has come a long way in the last 10 years or so since my last attempts. I’m looking forward to learning more!
