Monday: Back to the Basics
I broke down my study session into 3-45 minute intervals, to allow myself to take in the material.
First 45 = Read RHCSA Study Guide by Ghori
Next 45 = Work thru RH124 Course by Red Hat
Last 45 = Labbing
In addition to having this routine for my study sessions, I am using the learning schedule MOHD ABDUL JAMEEL to ensure each session is focused (Check out their post here).
Tuesday: Establishing Consistency
Today, I got a late start (woke up at 5:30AM). Honestly, I was a bit frustrated with myself for running behind schedule for the time that I committed to. But ultimately, I understood the need to be accountable and self-disciplined so I washed my face and jumped right into my first 45 minute session.
"Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it."
- Mike Tyson
Days like today, as well as the first few days of preparing for an exam, can be a struggle in establishing a routine you seek to ultimately be consistent in. You must have YOUR why in the front of your mind.
My focus for this morning was to reinforce the concepts that I reviewed from yesterday.
Wednesday: Lay down the foundation
Today mainly consisted of tying the past 3 days together.
Thursday: I’m Vim
Today I began to experiment with the text editor, Vim. This tool is a versatile text editor that offers users a robust platform for efficient text editing and manipulation. Vim's intuitive interface, extensive customization options, and a wide array of features make it a preferred choice for developers, system administrators, and power users alike.
Friday: Compress & Decompress
Today, I went into manipulating data by learning to compress, decompress, and archive.
In the realm of Linux data management and compression, the tar command stands as a cornerstone tool for creating archives. It consolidates multiple files and directories into a single archive file, preserving their attributes and directory structures. When combined with compression utilities like bunzip2, bzip2, gzip, and gunzip, Linux users unlock a comprehensive suite of capabilities for efficient data handling.
Bunzip2 and bzip2 excel in compressing files with high compression ratios, making them invaluable for minimizing storage requirements without sacrificing data integrity. Gzip, with its balanced compression speed and ratio, serves as a versatile choice for a wide range of compression tasks. Its counterpart, gunzip, seamlessly decompresses gzip-compressed files, ensuring swift access to archived data. Together, these tools empower Linux users to streamline data management, optimize storage utilization, and enhance data transfer efficiency across diverse computing environments.
Weekend:
This first week of execution was a challenge, specifically in self-discipline. From not getting up as schedule, it has made my planned routine rushed, but not scattered. This weekend will be used to further gain a grasp of the fundamental commands to move within and in-between directories, creating, editing, and removing files and directories, as well as the utilization of gzip2/bzip2, gunzip/bunzip2, and tar in regards to archiving and compression.
