Congrats! I work full time at an ISP in the cable department and wanted to get a foundation in networking. Took me a month but I passed my Network + last week! Next up CompTIA A+, you’ve motivated me to finally develop good study habits. Looking for an entry IT role. Entry steps 😁
@@raysaul I'm actually in the cable department so there isn't much "IT" work being done. I'm looking for a help desk role. My job currently consists of rebooting cable boxes, correcting accounts and sending signals to restore services.
You were not fucking kidding. I have been working as a Sysadmin since 2012 to current. I recently started doing the Linux+ course.... I had no idea how vast it can be. It actually made my life soo much easier!.
Linux+ changed a few months ago. previously it was the same set of questions than LPIC1 but now they have different questions and i guess different stuff to learn
I just started studying for the RHCSA(Already have Linux +), and coming from a background of Cisco(CCNA/CCNP) you're right; I feel right at home. Congrats on your pass! @NetworkChuck Here are my plans: ECPPT/RHCSA > AWS > Renew CCNA + Code Academy
@@asandax6 i'm pretty sure NASA has been using linux on various projects far pre-dating this. i did a paper in linux in school and remember citing the mars rover using linux - however, i'll admit the source i quoted didn't seem super reputable but it was very difficult to find definitive information on.
@@Kamel419 When I was in grad school, Wind River RTOS was being used on the Mars Rover Curiosity. I'm not sure exactly when they shifted to Linux but there's a good chance it was at least ten years ago.
I love listening to you, even as background noise. Learning with entertainment. I hope you also document your new journey because I'm currently going through it as well towards the security side
By “web admin” I assume they mean systems administrators managing the back end of web platforms. In my company we use primarily Linux for hosting these various external facing systems.
This is so funny that this dropped tonight. I was actually just watching last years videos where you said you were going to it last August. Congratulations! I’m trying to study Linux+ now.
Just got laid off from being a TSE for a couple years and will be looking to get into the Linux/Docker stuff after watching your videos. You definitely gotten me re-excited for IT again! Thanks man!
I took this exam in 2014 and absolutely failed it miserably. I think it’s important to note how valuable this cert is IRL. Here in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area, this certification is highly regarded and usually leads to a level of employment that generally hits above the 6 figure mark on the reg. Glad you hit up how in demand Linux skills are, even mentioning it on a resume gets you phone calls
working with RHEL 7 right now and bought the Pearson study guide for the Linux cert...I had never used Linux before and this is proving to be quite the challenge...thanks for posting this vid...greetings from Mexico City
I recommend people go for the LPI Linux Essentials exam first. It depends on your role though. I am currently a cloud engineer that switched from sys admin. I went CCP, LPI Linux Essentials, then SAA-02. Now I’m picking my AWS specialty. Depending on how I go depends on my next cert. Linux+ is good but should be the first Linux certification people go for.
right on. I barely passed today. It was not easy. I studied for a good month and a half. I used Oracle VM box and setup some Ubuntu and Fedora images to boot for hands on practice, and bought practice exams on Udemy. doing that for a few weeks. I chose the Linux + exam because it was more expensive, and my school was paying for any CompTIA exam, so I chose that one. I had no idea that there were prerequisites for Network +, A+ or Linux essentials for the Linux + exam, until after I passed. definitely don't do what I did, it was a very lucky gamble. I recommend a few months of prep at least, and other certifications first.
I know I said this already but I am so proud of you brother. I finally scheduled my CCNA and will be taking it on the 18th of July!! I am freaking excited and this is gonna be the first place that I am coming to notify you of the results. Congrats
I was wanting to get the Linux+ just so I can force myself to really learn Linux, and I find CompTIA to be great at forcing to learn different disciplines of IT
Get a Linux VM like Debian or Centos and start picking projects, think about security and how it might be done in an enterprise environment. You’ll learn tons along the way.
Chuck for web administrator, they meant managing web servers and hosting which are using LAMP stack i.e. Linux, Apache,Mysql (MariaDB) , PHP and ngnix. Some of companies also use words like webmaster, They are also doing pretty much same stuff like maintaining website,hardware, software, providing FTP access to any user. So basically it is Linux administrator but mostly focus on web servers.
2 years later...I go for my LPI Linux Essentials cert next Tuesday. 5/16/23 I took the Cisco Linux Essentials course (Free) and got a 30% discount voucher. Even as a daily Linux user I was still surprised at how much I learned. Cisco also has 2 more advanced Linux courses that tie in with the LPIC 1 & 2 certs which are aimed at the professional level Linux administrators. I am pretty certain my next level up will be the Google Cyber Security cert. Chuck, you're pretty awesome. I really enjoy your videos, and I really need to buy a bag of your coffee to enjoy in my morning chemex pour over routine. Cheers!
Congrats! I have been a mainstream Linux user for about 5 years, and I thought I would go straight for the RHCSA. Should be done by the holidays 😁. Keep it up!
I just passed Linux+ yesterday!!! Who hoo I’m continuing with Linux. Looking to take the Linux foundation certs next. Linux foundation is where the creator of Linux works, Linus torvalds. Plus , training for red hat seems a bit pricier.
I passed the 004 version today (got it done before that version retires). Judging by the practice tests I used, I thought for sure that I was going to fail. I was greeted with a nice surprise at the end.
Super timely vid for me. I'm a security guy with a background in networking. I let my CCNA lapse years ago when I got into the sec field but want to diversify my cert holdings to open (or reopen in case of networking opportunities) other career paths. I've been trying to study for the Linux+ for the past few weeks and just haven't found that energy to really turn the screws to this guy. Glad to hear that there's overlap with CCNA and DEVNET! I think I'll go and get my CCNA back and decide between DEVNET or Linux+ afterwards. Thanks Chuck!
good to use learning material for linux+ or lpic1 or whatever. build basic knowledge. but also install on desktop instead of windows is very recommended.
I am System / Networking admin and I working on RH System Admin certificate. It not easy as all. The test is all labs and a few questions. I hope to take it soon before they switch it RH8.
Good news for me, for some weird reason, even doing mundane stuff in Linux feels good to me. I just love Linux and I love messing with different distros. My memory isn't that good though.
The best thing to do to play around in Linux is to setup a virtual server. The reason is because you will be given tools to make restore points and it is easier to restore on a vm than on base metal. Meaning you can experiment as much as you want and break whatever you want without worry. Also you can have unlimited projects to play with. You may not be able to run them all at the same time but you can boot them up as often as you like.
I've been using RHEL for 1.7 yrs at my job but I don't think that I could pass the Linux+ yet. I still gotta study some more. But my studying is on hold because I am in the middle of transitioning to a new job with a new company that will get me a bunch of new skills but might also require studying different types of stuff like Active Directory for example. It has been a slow process so far.
Love it... linux rocks. I have had linux as my main operating system forever. I mostly use slackware but now I have a dozen raspberry pis... soooo linux! Yeay!
Chuck, the GOAT of IT teaching on UA-cam 😎. I wish we had him teaching on other platforms, especially LinkedIn Learning and A Cloud Guru, where current instructors make me sleepy 😴
I think it comes down to if you are trying to get the best score possible on the exam or if you are trying to pass it to get the credential. No matter if you are 1 point over the minimum or are 1 point from getting the max score you get the credential in other words, if you pass, you pass. All the employer cares about is that you have the credential. After that you can filling in the gaps. If anything, these certs can be used for your own personal growth to see where your strength and weakness are, albeit a rather expensive way of doing, but none the less it is a good measure of your ability within a given topic.
You ever thought of doing a course on CBTnuggets on your own? I’m currently doing the CCNA and if I was being honest, I can’t really watch the other guys without getting bored. I just find you more interesting and entertaining to watch. Plus your teaching style is much better for me anyway.
Web Administrator, I would think manage software end of servers for Apache, MySQL, PHP Myadmin etc., backups, managing users, turning things on and off for accounts
I was just thinking about your Linux goal -- " _Mmm wonder if Chuck's passed his Linux exam...I sure am struggling with mine!_ " (I'm going through LPIC1). Chuck, you're right, almost all FOSS (db, middleware, cloud technology, virtualization, you name it), comes or is rooted in UNIX/Linux world. So getting a solid knowledge by means of a certification is not a bad idea.
Nice video! Just as you said, as a network engineer, I gotta learn and master Linux since it has become the "soul" of IT, more important now when networking, software, automation and cloud are coming together!
Passed my Sec + this morning. Linux + is next. Then I want an RHCA and RHCE. Currently a data engineer and I love my job, but I actually do a lot of Linux related work and want to be a master at it.
I always find especially going into a PenTest role. Don't cert in everything, but studying the exam material is a good way as it's structured learning to a system like Linux or Python and brings you to that level technically.
I passed today! Started studying after your "EVERYONE needs to learn LINUX" video. Definitely a hard test but I just started messing with Linux in April.
Currently studying for the A+, im new to the IT field but I've been using Linux as of lately through VirtualBox because it really interested me. I've been learning the command terminal as of now. I'm also taking Google's IT support specialist course on coursera as well to further my knowledge.
I'm currently a college student. Last semester I took Linux System Administration which prepares you for Linux+, but I didn't get the certification because it costs too much money, but I eventually want to see about possibly getting it, once I get my career in IT rolling. But I have already got my A+ and Network+ certifications, which I plan on renewing, this year. Anyway I love linux, I have two raspberry pi's. I'm currently also studying for Certified Ethical Hacker and Python Machine Learning, although it's not required by my specialty for my degree. Python was, however.
Yeah. I laughed and just shook my head. It's uh... yeah, it's hard if you don't study. Anything is when you're being asked direct questions about stuff you didn't study for.
Hi CHUCK! You are inspiring and all your vids with LINUX are never boring. I want to be like you and have lots of reading on Linux. Like your Linux Hacking series. You are best!
Just Passed my Linux+... ITS TOTALLY DIFFRENT NOW... Been doing linux (self-taught) for over a decade and it was tough... PS. Think twice about Pearson Practice tests off Quizlet. Only about 20% of those questions are in the final exam, but what those questions reference will be in the exam. Find 3rd party testing sights for prep that closer matches the actual questions in the exam.
Web Administrator likely refers to building and maintaining web infrastructure used for websites and web applications. For example Wordpress runs on an Apache or Nginx server with PHP and SQL, all of this would be running on a Linux server and a web administrator would likely be in charge of maintaining many servers like this.
This video making me feel old, thinking maybe possibly in jest needing to send a babysitter to the channel; noting specifically the "this is hard" comment stated notable earlier on within the linked video surprisingly. Not to mention, sideways I have probably forgotten more in my time and long glittery career than most people will ever know their entire lifetimes in any one of these subjects or uncountable others. Though officially retired, that seems to have done little to nothing to stop all the many corporate and government calls. Not only am I one of the original authors and founders to most of the many of the certifications out there including this absolutely well across the top but, I am one of the original founders, engineers, of a very great many of the core technologies (hardware and software), protocols, and standards still in use today and slowly still making its way down to the public for some of these. In brief to a few of the many decades, was an original designing team member and director behind ISDN, DSL, Cable Modems, TCP/IP, IRC, Linux itself (whole expanded history there the majority of the world is completely unaware as well as history since CP/M where as SCO, Solaris, also likewise others unnamed, their respective histories not at all quite what most people think, neither the players or happenings along the way over the unending decades among these either.
Chuck, your videos and energy are great! To answer your question I thing Web Administrator, refers probably to the person administrating the actual server that is running a web page. Since a very good part of server running webpages are linux servers.
One hiring manager told me he is not impressive by this certification since it only shows you can memorize stuff but it doesn't mean you are ready to do actual stuff with it. What do you think about this?
hahaha yo NetworkChuck im a big fan of urs and i gotta say u are really a great inspiration and influencer to me but u said something that was a lil bit funny for me u said that u went for Two days hardcore in like 4 to 5 hours a day. I dropped out from university just to have enough time for IT i mean im really into IT i work like 14 hours a day in learning in books watching video tutorials and reading documentation online as well as watching IT general video content on youtube. I just want to thank you for the content u bring to us and keep on doing that looking forward for a new content :D
What Does a Website Administrator Do? Website administrators, also known as webmasters, web developers or network and computer system administrators, are responsible for all aspects of keeping website content and design fresh, backed up, and fully functional. They typically work closely with clients to make sure they understand how they want their websites to look and function. Depending on their specific role, they may also be responsible for making sure local networks are functioning properly as well.
cool that you are studying for RHCSA. Me too. Following an RHCSA 7 guide today I managed to set up KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) in a Centos 7 on VB on a Win10 host. A nested VM situation. Nested is not covered in RHCSA but I kind of had to do it that way given my current setup.
I'm taking the new linux beta exam since they are offering it to me for $50 so I'm just going to try for it. I just recently got my A+, Net+, and Security+ hopefully it'll help a little bit for this test.
@@citadelarmor 005 is just the updated version of the exam. I took 004 because I already had the study material for it and didn’t want to start over again. The 004 exam is now retired.
A web administrator ensures the proper operation of all services that support the peak operational capacity of the website, sometime going beyond that and developing product for the company
Web Admin has to remote into the remote server to manage the VM, since most like "hostmonster" use a Linux VM for your site. I'm a systems admin but I do some web admin and some database admin and some data services and other stuff, lol
they might mention web admin because ruby on rails is such an easy way to build websites / web apps, but in order to do it easily, a strong linux foundation was needed.
What they mean by web admin probably would be the foundational knowledge coming from the Linux+ for administering and maintaining a LAMP(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server stack

Nice video! Just as you said, as a network engineer, I gotta learn and master Linux since it has become the "soul" of IT, more important now when networking, software, automation and cloud are coming together!
Hey, well done and congrats on the pass.
Passed my Sec + this morning. Linux + is next. Then I want an RHCA and RHCE. Currently a data engineer and I love my job, but I actually do a lot of Linux related work and want to be a master at it.
I always find especially going into a PenTest role. Don't cert in everything, but studying the exam material is a good way as it's structured learning to a system like Linux or Python and brings you to that level technically.
I passed today! Started studying after your "EVERYONE needs to learn LINUX" video. Definitely a hard test but I just started messing with Linux in April.
Congratulations Chuck!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Currently studying for the A+, im new to the IT field but I've been using Linux as of lately through VirtualBox because it really interested me. I've been learning the command terminal as of now. I'm also taking Google's IT support specialist course on coursera as well to further my knowledge.
How’s you do?! And where are you now?
Big Congraz!! Very useful tips! I am also preparing my Linux exam with LinuXenta
Boy, you are extremely awesome. You really inspire me. Now that my interest and path is more or less the same.
I'm currently a college student. Last semester I took Linux System Administration which prepares you for Linux+, but I didn't get the certification because it costs too much money, but I eventually want to see about possibly getting it, once I get my career in IT rolling. But I have already got my A+ and Network+ certifications, which I plan on renewing, this year. Anyway I love linux, I have two raspberry pi's. I'm currently also studying for Certified Ethical Hacker and Python Machine Learning, although it's not required by my specialty for my degree. Python was, however.
You said the exam was hard but then you admitted you didn’t study. Of course an exam will be hard if you don’t study
Yeah. I laughed and just shook my head. It's uh... yeah, it's hard if you don't study. Anything is when you're being asked direct questions about stuff you didn't study for.
But he got alot of skill n experience from information overlap across various certifications
@@michi.m doesn’t mean anything if the exam material is specific and he had missing gaps in knowledge, but just enough to know how to get through it
Hi CHUCK! You are inspiring and all your vids with LINUX are never boring. I want to be like you and have lots of reading on Linux. Like your Linux Hacking series. You are best!
Just Passed my Linux+... ITS TOTALLY DIFFRENT NOW...
Been doing linux (self-taught) for over a decade and it was tough...
PS. Think twice about Pearson Practice tests off Quizlet. Only about 20% of those questions are in the final exam, but what those questions reference will be in the exam. Find 3rd party testing sights for prep that closer matches the actual questions in the exam.
I'm currently studying for RHCSA.
Web Administrator likely refers to building and maintaining web infrastructure used for websites and web applications. For example Wordpress runs on an Apache or Nginx server with PHP and SQL, all of this would be running on a Linux server and a web administrator would likely be in charge of maintaining many servers like this.
This video making me feel old, thinking maybe possibly in jest needing to send a babysitter to the channel; noting specifically the "this is hard" comment stated notable earlier on within the linked video surprisingly. Not to mention, sideways I have probably forgotten more in my time and long glittery career than most people will ever know their entire lifetimes in any one of these subjects or uncountable others. Though officially retired, that seems to have done little to nothing to stop all the many corporate and government calls. Not only am I one of the original authors and founders to most of the many of the certifications out there including this absolutely well across the top but, I am one of the original founders, engineers, of a very great many of the core technologies (hardware and software), protocols, and standards still in use today and slowly still making its way down to the public for some of these. In brief to a few of the many decades, was an original designing team member and director behind ISDN, DSL, Cable Modems, TCP/IP, IRC, Linux itself (whole expanded history there the majority of the world is completely unaware as well as history since CP/M where as SCO, Solaris, also likewise others unnamed, their respective histories not at all quite what most people think, neither the players or happenings along the way over the unending decades among these either.
Hey guys Im self taught linux user , 5 yrs now, Linux is beautiful
Stop lying.
I just started learning Linux yesterday on Virtual Box. So far it has been interesting
You need to make a video on how you manage to do all this with a wife and 4 kids. That something I need 2 learn🤯🤯🤯
Chuck, your videos and energy are great! To answer your question I thing Web Administrator, refers probably to the person administrating the actual server that is running a web page. Since a very good part of server running webpages are linux servers.
woo! i passed mine when the new version was in the beta period! love the discounted cert!
3 years have passed now you have to retake this exam and please make a new video
no
One hiring manager told me he is not impressive by this certification since it only shows you can memorize stuff but it doesn't mean you are ready to do actual stuff with it. What do you think about this?
Congratulations Mr. Chuck 👍
Hey Chuck thank you for this video and also Well done on getting 300k subscribers thank you for all of your videos and helping others succeed in I.T
hahaha yo NetworkChuck im a big fan of urs and i gotta say u are really a great inspiration and influencer to me but u said something that was a lil bit funny for me u said that u went for Two days hardcore in like 4 to 5 hours a day. I dropped out from university just to have enough time for IT i mean im really into IT i work like 14 hours a day in learning in books watching video tutorials and reading documentation online as well as watching IT general video content on youtube. I just want to thank you for the content u bring to us and keep on doing that looking forward for a new content :D
4:36 That background sound scared the shh.. out of me at 2 AM
NetworkChuck, your videos are so motivational and make me feel like becoming a successful IT professional is possible. Thanks.
You have the best intro of all time.
What Does a Website Administrator Do?
Website administrators, also known as webmasters, web developers or network and computer system administrators, are responsible for all aspects of keeping website content and design fresh, backed up, and fully functional. They typically work closely with clients to make sure they understand how they want their websites to look and function. Depending on their specific role, they may also be responsible for making sure local networks are functioning properly as well.
Congrats bro, well done, full motivation!!
Congrats Sir. Job well done!!
cool that you are studying for RHCSA. Me too. Following an RHCSA 7 guide today I managed to set up KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) in a Centos 7 on VB on a Win10 host. A nested VM situation. Nested is not covered in RHCSA but I kind of had to do it that way given my current setup.
Been waiting for this video! Glad to hear you passed, I'm studying for this exam but am thinking about getting network+ first.
I'm glad I've been using Linux for some years already
I'm taking the new linux beta exam since they are offering it to me for $50 so I'm just going to try for it. I just recently got my A+, Net+, and Security+ hopefully it'll help a little bit for this test.
I passed the Linux+ XK0-004 exam today. 870/900 so not too bad. I’m glad to put this one behind me.
what's difference b/w 004 and 005 , can't we skip 004 if that's a very beginner thing?
@@citadelarmor 005 is just the updated version of the exam. I took 004 because I already had the study material for it and didn’t want to start over again. The 004 exam is now retired.
@@kevinthomas7478 okay
A web administrator ensures the proper operation of all services that support the peak operational capacity of the website, sometime going beyond that and developing product for the company
You are really amazing chuck the way you explain things are truly awsome. Love from India.
Congratulations good for you man!
Web Admin has to remote into the remote server to manage the VM, since most like "hostmonster" use a Linux VM for your site.
I'm a systems admin but I do some web admin and some database admin and some data services and other stuff, lol
Your study materials def helped me I just passed today with an 811/900! Right before they move onto xk0-005 too lol
they might mention web admin because ruby on rails is such an easy way to build websites / web apps, but in order to do it easily, a strong linux foundation was needed.
What they mean by web admin probably would be the foundational knowledge coming from the Linux+ for administering and maintaining a LAMP(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server stack
