It’s really up to you. I’ve been doing some improvements to the material lately, so next month will be slightly different (but not much).

The up-to-date version is always available at https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/ and you can track the changes at https://github.com/livialima/linuxupskillchallenge if you want to follow it more closely.

Nice to know! Thanks for sharing.

No need to reboot, it’s just a recommendation after your first update/upgrade to get any kernel changes in. You won’t need to reboot for a long time after that.

Agreed, Oracle is as devilish as IBM, but I didn’t see any major discrepancies with their Ubuntu version (so far) like I saw on IBM Cloud. It’s a cloud option, but definitely not my first pick.

I’d love to add more material about containers, if you have any recommendations please share.

awww, thanks!

Oh yeah, it slows things down, for sure. But if you never used anything like vim before, that slow pace can benefit the learning experience (at least that happened to me when I started). Bottom line is: vim is a lot. Be patient and it will get easier (and faster) over time.

Oracle is mentioned alongside AWS and Azure free tiers on the other Day 0 article.

In a production environment? Not really, there are better ways to do it. But it’s a good beginner exercise.

Anki is awesome but the best way to memorize commands is to just use them. After you are finished with the challenge you may want to consider practicing with real world scenarios at https://sadservers.com/
