StackScripts are a relatively new offering from Linode that allow users to build their own installation script by "stacking" previously existing scripts together to build the machine you want. You can keep your StackScript to yourself, or publish it for the world to use.
Linode rocks. Seriously, read my review. I was talking to a co-worker (whom I converted to Linode as well) about how I would pay double the amount to keep my Linode now that I know how much I use it.
After taking and passing both my SCSA and my RHCE exams this year, it's time to reflect. Read on for the pros and cons of each from a student's point of view.
Today in class we were talking about how you needed to save your iptables changes using service iptables save before rebooting at the end of the test, or else you'll fail that section of the test. I brought up the setting IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_STOP to "yes" in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config, and no one else knew about that file. There's some pretty cool settings in there - read on for details.
During my RH300 course, my instructor mentioned that RHEL 6 is likely to come out sometime Q1 2010. I wanted to know more about it, so I hit Google, and came up with some interesting results.
Just got my test results back -- I got 100% on my exam, so now I'm a RHCE!
