Credentialing suggestions for new sysadminSubmitted by ShupeR on Thu, 2010-06-10 18:55.Discuss | Professional
As a tech-inclined physical therapy student, I found myself derailed into windows systems administration a couple of years ago (I'm the onsite IT department for a medical facility) and am now feeling the need for formal credentialing to move forward (backwards? sideways? anyways). I'm also bridging the gap with linux (openSUSE) and am very interested (though semi-layman) about open-source co-implementation. Can anyone give their thoughts and opinions on where a greenish admin might start focusing their efforts? I took a class on A+ certification in high school as an elective but didn't feel confident to take the exam (plus it was a lot of money back then). Now I meet a lot of MCSE folk. Is a combo A+/Network+ considered about equal? Linux certifications? add new comment | 182 reads

LOPSA Live December 2009 TranscriptAttached is the transcript of the December 2009 LOPSA Live session. My (pckizer) apologies for the delay in getting it posted; holiday activities and my forgetfulness colluded to lead to my lapse in posting. This was a short session we expect due to the already mentioned holiday prep on the part of many people. Volunteers and participants for SCALE are still requested as well as a pre-announcement of plans for a NJ event this coming year. Our new Executive Director, MaryBeth Kurland, was with us to be introduced as Deepa has an opportunity in a direction that takes her from primary but will still let her be available in Association Headquarters. read more | 1234 reads | 1 attachment
