My Journey to RHCSA Begins! ๐Ÿš€ (Tips appreciated!)

Hello everyone,

My name is Sanket, and I recently joined this Linux community! I just started learning for the RHCSA certification through a Udemy course. I have a basic understanding of what Linux is, how the kernel works, some core shell commands, and a bit of its history..

I would love it if you could share some tips to help me with my studies. Any advice or suggestions are welcome!

Thank you

Welcome @Sanket_Survase! RHCSA is a solid cert to chase. Best advice I can give: get hands-on as fast as possible. Spin up a couple of RHEL 9 VMs (or AlmaLinux if you want free) and break things on purpose, then fix them.

Focus heavily on the stuff that trips people up under time pressure: systemd units, user and group management, permissions including ACLs and special bits, firewalld, SELinux contexts, LVM and storage, and getting comfortable with vi or vim.

Knowing how to find answers in man pages and /usr/share/doc is genuinely part of the skill, youโ€™re allowed to use them in the exam so practice with them.

Oh, do the Sander van Vugt practice exams once you feel ready. Theyโ€™re harder than the real thing and great for spotting weak areas:

Good luck, post questions here as you go. Thanks for joining.
