Hi everyone, I am seriously considering getting CLDA certification, and I'd like to know how the exam is, what kind of questions are asked, etc.
https://www.novell.com/training/test.../3086tobj.html
I have been using Windows since 98 and have stopped at Windows 7. As far as my Linux experience goes:
I have a year of Ubuntu/Mint experience, and 4 years or so of Debian experience.
I have used Arch for around a year, CentOS for around a month (due to gnome2 nostalgia).
I have used OpenSUSE in the past, but only for around a month or so.
I am comfortable using both CLI and GUI.
I know how to do a Debian base install and then customize it to my needs. (Will do an OpenSUSE base install some time today or tomorrow).
I know how to ssh, ftp, telnet.
I know how to compile kernels for Debian and its derivatives (though this probably doesn't really matter anyways).
I know how to set up Apache and ProFTPD with a bit of assistance from Google.
I know how to set up GPU drivers and such.
I know how to set up printers via CUPS (localhost:631).
I know how to compile software from source.
Now, considering all these things and that I know around 3/4ths of the stuff on that CLDA objectives list, would you recommend me taking the self study course? or signing up for a class? And, if you have already taken the exam and passed it, how was it? How were the exam questions? How's the difficulty?
Thanks!
