he was fun to watch, cli on an overhead. after a few years constantly signing things it becomes a time waster writing out each letter. my full signature is 23 letters. no readable letters since army. kids can’t read cursive anymore.
spent about a week listening to this guy talk. test day given a junk, blank x86 machine, install media and a list of services to setup with about 4 hours to complete. pro tip, learn to install rhel with no gui bloat. machine was so slow i spent half the time waiting for slow hardware, cdrom to hdd copy. checked it from his laptop. got results emailed. was relieved i somehow passed. don’t remember what it cost. employer paid. knew how beforehand. some people got done hours before me. no hat
it’s still “around” but its leadership and mission have changed drastically enough since IBM’s purchase of RedHat to represent something completely else from what it once did and how you probably thought of it back when you paid attention to it. i’m sure if you installed it you’d find it all very familiar for a while, but eventually you’d hit something that made you go “hey wait”
checks out.
scrutiny intensifies
That signature is crazy, it looks like they have like ten underscores as part of their last name

Its a ton of work, like years and years of study and tests.
maybe from scratch. i started on Slackware in 1995 and had experience. this was a week class in a hotel conference room.
Yeah, redhat does certifications. Unfortunately you don’t get a hat afaik :(

Tbf, being a certified hatred engineer sounds pretty badass, if not necessarily admirable 😁
is centos still around? jumped on ubuntu to escape rpm corruption. don’t care to know anymore. shutdown -h now; not in the menu? wtf
Centos exists as centos stream, which serves as upstream to RHEL and is downstream from fedora. For something like old centos, theres rocky

replaced an IBM mainframe with a rack of linux DB2 and app servers. they wanted a cert to keep legal happy. a week paid vacation for the cert.
