Hello everyone! I'm excited to join the Red Hat community and to broaden my knowledge and skills. I'm a retired military veteran living in Raeford, NC and attending Fayetteville Technical Community College. I'm currently working on a degree in computer programming and development. I'm looking forward to learning more about Linux since my knowledge in that area is very limited at the moment. I will be sure to reach out with questions and welcome any advice that can be offered.

I'm a huge fan of sports, especially football, with basketball the runner-up. I enjoy watching and playing both sports. I am excited to meet many new people through this community and to see where it takes me!

Hello everyone.  My name is Robert and I currently working full time in a non-IT related field.  Cybersecurity is something that has interested me ever since I saw the movie Sneakers back in the early 90's, which I realize is dating myself.  However, I never pursued this field until now. I have enrolled in FTCC and have challenged myself to see if I am able to make the necessary strides to break into this field and see how far I can go with it.  I'm looking forward to the journey!

@coppeler1697 That is extremely exciting - welcome to the Red Hat Learning Community! It seems you have the "never stop learning" mindset like many members of this community. Please let us know if we can help you out in any way as you navigate this new journey.

I am a database administrator for Oracle and SQL Server, Linux Admin has added to my role since I had a new manager, couple years ago.  I have some Linux experiences enough for maintaining Oracle Database Cluster on Redhat 6.

Play no sport but pay a lot for sport -- my little girl has been skating 7 years, her level is Novices.  My happy days were when landed a few tripple jumps.

Hello people, I 'm Kostas, from Greece, currently located in Wolfsburg, Germany and developing my programming skills in 42 coding school. Also, an ambassador for RedHat/42Wolfsburg, hence my presence here. I am interested in anything that makes me feel I understand something better than before and helps form the bigger picture. I suppose here enters Linux. I am a cyber security enthusiast (newbie) and a musician (relatively experienced).

Hi bro, can you teach me about Cyber security? or share some tips on how to learn

[Kostas42]

Hello, I definitely cannot teach you, I just started exploring the field myself and ofc is an enormous one with multiple branches. I will assume though that you are mostly interested in penetration testing and ethical hacking. So, in that area there are multiple sites that can help you with free content. I think the most famous ones are : hackthebox.com and tryhackme.com. There you can make your first steps.

If your focus on the other hand is to combine the knowledge you are getting from Red Hat Academy, you can also check Red Hat Security, Securing containers and OpenShift.
