LINUX. LINUX. LINUX.



Or Enterprise Storage. (Like Jeff.) IMO, there are more resources to learn Linux and can be done on commodity hardware. It's harder to learn NetApp without owning a NetApp.. (Or EMC, Compellent, etc.)

July 27 (Bloomberg) -- South Korea’s Im Dong-Hyun, who is legally blind, broke the first world record at the London Olympics during the men’s individual archery event today.

Hyun scored 699 in the 72-arrows ranking round of the competition at Lord’s Cricket Ground.

“This is just the first round so I will not get too excited by it,” the 26-year-old archer told the Olympic News Service.

The score also helped South Korea set a world record in the team event of 2,087 points. His teammates Kim Bubmin and Oh Jin- Hyek came second and third in the men’s individual round.

Im has 20/100 vision in his right eye and 20/200 in his left eye, meaning that he is legally blind in his left eye, according to the news service. He won gold medals in the team events at the Beijing and Athens games.
not to put this down, but being legally blind doesn't mean you can't see.

Thanks Aaron

Yes Steve it says he is 20/100 in one eye and 20/200 in the other. I imagine he has some kind of corrective lenses otherwise it could be pretty dangerous for him to be shooting arrows

It depends... But, generally, yes. You can learn on CentOS for free. CentOS is a 100% rebuild of Red Hat from source with all the trademarked bits removed (logos and ish.)

The only difference in the business world is with regard to patching (company hosted Red Hat Satellite Servers or Red Hat hosted, RHN) and some other higher end Red Hat only services. This stuff is worth knowing, but not necessary to get your feet wet.

Red Hat is used more in the goverment/contracting sector and I could explain this a bit more but there's good reasons for it. Debian is used more in web hosting services as it seems to be preferred for web servers.

Not necessarily... Most of these vendors have simulations you can setup on a Windows or Linux box. They use these in the training classes and make them available to anyone in the Internet. I've personally used the NetApp one and it is pretty impressive. There are certain things you can't do but, for the most part, it is pretty much the same as the real thing.

I should also point out that most storage system OS's are Linux based. NetApp's in particular. Knowing Linux will make you a far better Data Storage tech.
