posted message: Only a few videos left to post, and then we will have 1 last exam which will allow you to get your level 1 certification. Certifications will be issued using the name provided in the Courses site. You will receive a email with a PDF version of the certification after you pass the course. If you would like a hard copy please get in contact with me for more details. A new course will be open then after for the level 2 which will cover more advance topics as well as security. There will be 3 Levels in total to the GNU Linux certifications, where the 3rd one will be the highest you can achieve through P2PU and DevBlog Courses.

posted message: Cool GNU Linux Tip for Today: Configure NTP on your system to synchronize your time. There are only 4 steps to do this. First install ntp "yum -y install ntp". Second synchronize NTP to a defined server "ntpdate pool.ntp.org". Next start the ntpd service "service ntpd start". Lastly, make it so ntpd starts after each reboot "chkconfig ntpd on". You can find a tutorial here: http://www.devblog.co/configure-ntp-network-time-protocol-to-synchronize-your-system-clock/

posted message: Cool GNU Linux Tip for Today: Customize your VIM editor by adding a tree explorer. The NERD tree allows you to explore your filesystem and to open files and directories. It presents the filesystem to you in the form of a tree which you manipulate with the keyboard and/or mouse. It also allows you to perform simple filesystem operations. To install: Put NERD_tree.vim in ~/.vim/plugin and NERD_tree.txt in ~/.vim/doc. For more information click here: http://bit.ly/s3US

posted message: Cool GNU Linux Tip for today: Say you want to view the contents for the bottom of a file live to see changes or additions. You can use the tail utility along with the -f flag. For instance, As you run a PHP script you want to see if anything gets added to the php error log. You could use `tail -f /path/to/php_error_log`
