          Some systems, specifically stuff with embedded controls, will continue to run XP or older for some time. A great example is a CNC station, or an MRI station. In 2011, I was working with a client that had CNC stations still running '98.

          Sure, but are A+ cert newbies going to be supporting those? Not likely.

          A+ newbies are the cheapest hires, usually, and a company that's still employing an XP based system is most likely to hire the least experienced, cheapest people possible.

          Perhaps. But not for that role. Nothing in the A+ will prepare you for a CNC machine for example.

          That's absolutely true. Similarly, none of the CompTIA courses cover HIPAA requirements.

          Even HIPAA doesn't cover that 😉

              "The good news is that the groundwork is set to switch Qubes to PVH in the future when the Linux kernel adds the needed support, and even to replace Xen entirely with something else, if a better alternative comes along,"

              Uh then whats the point of Qubes. KVM is already available on everything.

                  The responses here are great. I can't believe that CompTIA themselves opened this can of worms: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1990752-what-did-a-do-for-you

                    "I will say that it opened my eyes when other people I worked with really struggled to pass the test. Some people had to cross train because they failed it 3 times. I even tried helping them study and they still couldn't pass the A+ exam. "

                    😞 I had to be A+ certified for CARF Accredidation and I took both tests within two hours of each other and passed. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box either so that goes to show you how worthless the exams really are.

                      I have a terrible time taking tests. And I passed the A+ on the first try after studying for like 24 hours 😛

                                    Haven't gotten into the nuts and bolts yet but I'd imagine both

                                        Building a SaltStack install in VB to test with my windows 10 desktop and see what it does and how I might make use of it.

                                        Will also look into configuring my mac as a salt minion and see what can be done there.

                                          I suspect that Macs are easy to handle, but I've not tried it.

                                            Testing out Korora after speaking with SAM. Tried two different downloads and three different ISO to USB programs and all failed.

                                            Re-downloaded and used RUFUS and we are up and running on the LIVE USB.

                                            Looks nice thus far. Though the switch to turn the mouse off doesn't work so I keep moving the mouse as I type.
