CompTIA Linux+ Exam Prep! [IN PROGRESS]

hi i'm sean powers and i'm here to help

you learn everything do what you love

and most importantly be kind but more

specifically we are going to start the

linux plus series learning to get the

comptia linux plus certification this is

a little bit of a late start because i

had horrible hardware problems that are

a thing of the past that was me knocking

on wood hopefully that holds true um but

i want to give you a quick intro this

video that you're watching now is the

temporary intro this will be deleted

once the course is done this is kind of

like i want to get us started but i'll

have a better intro when we're done so

temporary intro here we go now when i'm

demonstrating all the various things i'm

going to try to use two systems i'm

using ubuntu mate

and rocky linux 9 which is kind of like

the new centos sun to us is no longer a

direct bite for byte copy of red hat

enterprise linux so that's what rocky

linux tries to do so i'm going to use

rocky linux for the red hat stuff ubuntu

mate for the debian ubuntu stuff and the

stuff that doesn't matter i'll probably

default to ubuntu because it's just what

i really like to use all all the time

but anyway i am using virtualbox which

is completely free i have also added uh

the add-on extension package so that i

can use

rd what is uh rdp to remotely watch them

because while you can use virtualbox to

you know control like with their little

window like their little visual window

to actually use it

it really messes with my recording so i

like to use remote desktop and that

requires you put the add-ons which if

you're doing it for your own personal

use that's perfectly fine to do so um

using rdp allows me to set up a tabbed

interface so i can go between them while

they're running it's actually really

super cool i will show you that actually

i'll show you that now and this is a

little bit hard to see because you know

i try to make it as tiny as possible up

on the top of the screen so that it

doesn't take up the space but this is a

little tabbed interface up here if you

see at the upper left i'm switching

between and this is just a program it's

a free program i think it's even open

source it's called like what is it

called rd tabs i'll put a link in the

description of the video below if you

want to try it but it's just a really

great way to get a tabbed interface to

remote desktop stuff and then i'm just

connecting to my virtual box uh right

here on my own personal computer alright

so it's something you can replicate and

install on your own and follow along

just so you know what i'm using and

you'll be able to use the same thing i

also recommend that while you do stuff

before you make any major changes i

recommend taking a snapshot in

virtualbox that's just so you can roll

back if you mess something up i do that

because i mess stuff up i don't always

leave the mess-ups in video but

sometimes i do anyway snapshots are a

great way to give you a spot you can

roll back in time because it's just that

it's a snapshot of the system so any

changes you make get reverted to the

snapshot when you go back now when it

comes to the actual material the actual

objectives i'm getting straight from

comptia the new revision that came out

july 12 2022 and it looks like this this

is just a

snapshot of the pdf file that includes

the the various objectives and it's

broken up into sections like section 1.0

is system management section

1.1 here is summarize linux fundamentals

now also i do have a course linux

essentials that will give you all this

stuff and even more so if you're not

comfortable with linux at all i

recommend you look at that course i'll

put it like up in the corner i'll put a

link to my linux essentials course which

is actually a certification you could

get but even if you just want to get

more familiar with linux before diving

into linux plus that will help you out

but what i wanted to show you here yes

this is the objectives i'll put a link

to the objectives in the video

description here as well but it's just

broken up into these big chunks like

section 1.1 but this is going to be a

lot of video and sometimes it gets

monotonous if there's super long videos

and a long time between videos if i have

to make like a you know an hour and a

half long video so i plan on breaking

them up into chunks like the section 1.1

will probably become 1.1.1 1.1.2 0.3.4.5

and they're going to loosely

follow the chunks right the the little

bold bullet points there i'm just going

to break it up into sections i mean this

isn't rocket science here it's just so

if you see like 1.1.3 and you're like

that is not in the objective list at all

it's just 1.1 that i've broken up into

multiple pieces i just wanted to make

that clear before i start that's what

we're doing so when you follow along in

your objective list again that's in the

description so you can download it uh

you'll know where i am and why i named

it the way i named it now if i make any

changes to the standard virtualbox

networking like isolated network to set

up dhcp i don't really remember all the

things that we're going to cover in this

linux plus course but if i make network

changes i'll point them out virtualbox

allows you to do some things but i'll

make sure that i point out that i've

done something behind the scenes that

make my setup work differently than the

setup that you can install and follow

along with yourself now another a couple

other housekeeping things i plan i was

thinking about doing a live stream every

so often do you think that would be

beneficial like during the creation of

the course and maybe even after it's

done every so often have a live stream

where people could ask questions i could

respond we could just you know

shoot the breeze whatever it might take

if that sounds like it might be

interesting to you how often do you

think that should happen uh what what

sounds like a reasonable amount of time

for questions or interests or uh

or how long before people forget how

horrible the last one was so they might

come to the next one let me know what

you think might be an appropriate time

frame if it even seems like a good idea

to do a live stream at all and if you

want to help along the way

please subscribe to my channel hit that

notification

thing wherever it is it's like a bell

that way you'll get notified when the

videos come out and even more

importantly if you know anybody who

might benefit from free complete

no no nothing hidden i mean i'm giving

this all away for free uh linux plus

course please send them to my channel so

that they can follow along too uh the

youtube algorithm is great for

connecting people to the stuff they want

but nothing beats uh actual first-hand

recommendations so if you want to help

me

be able to create for more people i

would appreciate it and that's something

you can do so i'm gonna stop this video

and hopefully before today is out the

first actual video of the course will

drop and remember this video is going

away once the course is complete so if

you're watching this you're part of the

elite few they get to watch this video

which will only be here until the course

is done it's a really weird elite status

to have but you have it i'll see in the

next video bye
