That said, I got a framebuffer system converted to an X Windows system and it displayed somewhat well. Because of concurrency problems and hidden algorithms, I never got the system working the way it should be. I'd love to work somewhere else in precision manufacturing utilizing embedded Linux.

Some success, but I don't understand systemd well enough to make a stock CentOS 7 run a custom compiled Apache and PHP. I really need professional training in CentOS/Redhat Enterprise Linux to complement my Linux Professional Institute Level 1 certification. I've grown up on Redhat, but I don't understand it anymore.
