Phew. That’s a relief. And now, after I bought the nVidia card, AMD is actually about opening ATi Linux driver source code and supporting AIGLX. If they had just done that a few weeks earlier, it would have saved me a few bucks…

How I did it: I had a lot of experience with Linux to start with; I would seriously recommend making sure you are prepared right! I can recommend RHCE Red Hat Certified Engineer Linux Study Guide (ISBN9780072264548). A very good, be it a bit shallow, reference guide. Not enough to pass the exam, but enough to know what to dive into even deeper. Read how I did it…
For me, as a Linux professional, it was important to get certified in this field of expertise. The LPI exams however, proved to be outdated (what’s the point of knowing the IRQ for ttyS0?). To me, that was a bit of a disappointment. I’m doing RHCE next, which shows much more promise.
I’m a Linux guy myself. I’m much happier working with Linux than I’ll ever be with Windows. It’s a long story but my previous employer thought it would be important for me to do this. So now I’ m an MCSA. And I don’t really care. Good thing about this is that I also did CompTIA Security+ along the way, which was kinda interesting.
These exams are not too hard. I did all exams in one try with 900+ scores. It’s just a matter of preparing well and having a great coach during the course.
