CIS 222 is a Cuesta College class on Unix and Linux.  It will be offered in Spring 2011 (next semester).

There’s a lot to learning any operating system, especially a complicated one like Unix or Linux. One way to know what’s important about an operating system, especially one used in business, is to look at the certification exams available for it. This class will introduce Unix and Linux from the angle of preparing you for the CompTIA Linux+ certification.  CompTIA says: “CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI is a high-stakes, vendor-neutral certification that validates the fundamental knowledge and skills required of junior Linux administrators.”

Interestingly, if you want Linux certifications, getting CompTIA Linux+ also immediately qualifies you for the Linux Professional Institute’s LPIC-1 certification, as well as Novell’s Certified Linux Administrator (CLA). Take 2 tests, get 3 certifications!

I was recently asked to prepare a brief presentation on desktop virtualization.  I’ve been through quite a few desktop virtualization projects throughout the years.   Some went off better than others.  I learned a few tidbits along the way.
