Just doing homework on AWS for my interview next week. I think they've literally thought of everything, except making your meals and doing your laundry.

@RamblingBiped Sounds like a great idea! I may do that on the side, just to have it in my arsenal of "stuff that I've done"

Thank you all for your suggestions! Very helpful..... I've actually started working on a Zabbix server with the database sitting on a second server.

Good morning... Off to finish this Zabbix server

@MattSpeller Thanks for the kind words! Yeah at my last job, I used to wear a bowtie every Wednesday (bowtie wednesday) to spice things up in the dep't. This next opportunity should be killer!

Since the company that I interviewed with is running Zabbix, maybe I should try that.

Thanks everybody for these fantastic ideas!

Hello!

I wanted to reach out to the community as I just got laid off at my job as a Windows/VMWare system admin. I currently have an opportunity to take on a role as a Linux/Xen admin but the company is reluctant to hire me as it has been about 7 years since I was heavily engulfed in the *NIX world. They are bringing me in for a technical interview next week to see how I measure up. Until then, I really want to sharpen my skills, and so am looking for a project to work on that'll give me all the basics and some advanced knowledge to bring it all back to me.

Any suggestions on a project(s) are welcome!
