I originally took the LFCS exam back in 2018, along with the LFCE, while working as a VMware and storage admin. I was heavily involved with CentOS 5, 6, and 7 at the time. After moving on from that role, my hands-on Linux experience became minimal, mostly limited to checking logs or performing basic tasks.

Where I work there is a big proportion of VMs that run CentOS 6/7 and with all the other studying I had been doing, I had never had the time to improve my Linux skill set and it has always been an area that I was lacking in. The reason I went with the Linux Foundation is because they had a black Friday sale on last year where you could get the course and the exam (with a free retake) pretty cheap. My company paid for it and all, but it just seemed like a no brainer . You can pick from multiple distributions, […]
