Started yesterday, but it's not to late to join in! 
ETA: Lead by the Linux Foundation. |

Enjoyed the background lessons.
Working on getting Fedora on my 2nd HD right now. The images don't seem to want to boot after I create them. Got to figure out if it's my usb drive, port, UEFI or something else. I'll figure it out. 
ETA: Couldn't get it to boot without an error. Said screw it, and installed Xubuntu. |

ETA: Just for the sake of discussion, I started by running Debian with xfce and then transitioned over to CentOS (I need enterprise-like experience, and I think they use a gnome desktop environment in the examples). |

I was just trying to boot a live usb from unetbootin. The usb came up with errors every time. Not a fan of gnome3 from the little I've played with it. if they use it though i might try dd from xubuntu. see if that works better to make a usb. What are you wanting to do with the enterprise experience? |

i haven't touched linux in like 10 years and wanted to try it again. last time red hat and suse was all the rage now its ubunto and mint. so far it has gotten much better and more stable there are drivers now that you don't have to worry as much about your hardware. so far this course is pretty basic until chapter 5 or 6.

These days they seem to focus more on how pretty it can look rather than how functional it should be. I've always had a love/hate relationship with Linux for many years and use it as an OS less and less as each year passes. |
