Oakbrook Terrace, Ill. (Vocus) May 28, 2008 The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), the leading provider of vendor-neutral certifications for the world’s technology workforce, today announced it will soon start the process of updating its CompTIA Linux+ certification.
The update process will start this summer with a Job Task Analysis (JTA), scheduled for July. The JTA will bring together subject matter experts in Linux to evaluate the job roles and tasks for IT professionals who work with open source operating systems. This information will then be used to update the content of the CompTIA Linux+ certification exam.
The update of CompTIA Linux+ is in keeping with CompTIA’s practice of continuous and ongoing review of its certification content. This assures that the certification exams address the latest changes in technology and reflect the skills needed by tech workers and required by employers.
Increasing demand for open source solutions and Linux skills is evident in many markets and industries. There is also increasing market demand for CompTIA Linux+ certified professionals; for example, among large global IT service companies that have integrated CompTIA Linux+ into their training and certification programs. In addition, the United States Navy now recommends CompTIA Linux+ as an option for its information assurance personnel.
“The U.S. Navy’s Information Assurance Workforce relies on certifications, such as CompTIA Linux+, to meet the Department of Defense 8570.1 strategy for secure Naval Networks,†said Mike Knight, Navy Network Warfare Command.
CompTIA Linux+ is a vendor-neutral certification, generic across Linux distributions, that validates the knowledge of individuals with a minimum of six to twelve months of practical Linux experience. Professionals who are currently CompTIA Linux+ certified demonstrate knowledge of user administration; know file permissions and software configurations; manage local storage devices and network protocols; and provide basic troubleshooting.
Applications for Linux subject matter experts are now being accepted. For more information on CompTIA Linux+, visit http://certification.comptia.org/linux/default.aspx.

These videos cover how set up your network for booting. I used pfSense and Freenas to do the setup for the servers. used Ubuntu 8.04 for the actual booted OS. I had speaking issues and nothing is really in order, I will probably redo it eventually. Here are the files I used in the video: pxelinux.0 - www.mediafire.com boot.txt - www.mediafire.com default - www.mediafire.com Video Rating: 4 / 5
London (PRWEB) October 14, 2005Canonical Ltd is pleased to announce the availability of the latest version of Ubuntu. Designed to make Linux simple for everyone, the Ubuntu is targeted at PC users who are looking at a flexible, simple to use desktop, as well as providing all the required features and applications that businesses need on both desktops and servers.
This release features a new flavor of Ubuntu, called Edubuntu, which is a specialized version developed in collaboration with teachers and education specialists for classroom deployment.
It also has support for OEMs pre-installing Linux on new machines, either exclusively or alongside Microsoft Windows, making Ubuntu 5.10 the premier choice for system builders worldwide.
With a commitment to be available at no charge, have no restrictive licensing, and provide security updates for 18 months after each release, Ubuntu is uniquely placed to deliver Linux to all types users. Add the professional technical support from many companies around the world, and Ubuntu becomes the latest Linux to offer a solid base for all businesses.
Ubuntu 5.10 comes with two CDs : one for installing onto a PC or server, and the other to run as a Live CD, enabling anyone to try Ubuntu on their computer without disturbing their existing installation.
Ubuntu is free to everyone, no matter where they are in the world. The new release is available to download at http://www.ubuntu.com/download or by registering for the ShipIt program at shipit.ubuntu.com
Ubuntu (based on the GNOME desktop) and Kubuntu (based on the KDE desktop) will be available simultaneously and will support 32 and 64 bit PCs, and PowerPCs, together with a broad range of graphics cards, audio devices, printers, scanners, plus network and Bluetooth devices.
A major feature of Ubuntu 5.10 is the built-in thin client functionality - produced in cooperation with the Linux Terminal Server Project - making Ubuntu particularly advantageous in schools and for businesses with older hardware or who are looking to reduce total cost of ownership through effective Linux deployments. Ubuntu leads the world in the integration of thin client technology, making it the distribution of choice for large corporate desktop deployments where management costs and security are of critical importance.
GNOME 2.12 and KDE 3.4.3 provide the very latest user interfaces, and OpenOffice.org 2.0 enables support for the new OASIS Open Document Format, recently adopted as the standard by governments such as the State of Massachusetts.
Applications in 5.10 are now linked into the Launchpad infrastructure which enables more effective collaboration between open source developers. Visit Launchpad at http://www.launchpad.net to find out how Launchpad is helping developers work together to produce translations, track bugs and work together with distributed version control.
New support for up to 4 gigabytes of RAM on 32-bit architectures is included, as is kernel support for cluster filesystems ( OCFS2 and GFS ) : enabling the use of Ubuntu in high performance computing ( HPC ) environments such as clusters and grids.
A new simple to use tool for supporting multiple languages is included together with full support for HP all-in-one printer/scanner devices.
The kernel version is 2.6.12.5 with many updated drivers and extensive laptop support, with GCC 4.0.1 and glibc 2.3.5
Ubuntu is quick and simple to install, has regular, defined release cycles and installs a selection of the most well loved brilliant open source packages. To gain access to more software than you can imagine, simply use the built in update process. Ubuntu is part of the Debian family of distributions, with familiar administration and package selection and provides the largest number of applications available.
For those those who watch the Ubuntu code names closely, we are pleased to welcome the Breezy Badger, and look forward to the Dapper Drake.
