<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks Anthony, I get you, but its damn near murder to get the ova and iso’s than it is I to get the hardware. Also, my lab has come in handy not just for the labs but for customer testing. I will look into a training partner like Vik (collab).
Just find it frustrating, almost like as if they are setting you up for failure.

<div dir="auto">I feel your frustration, but this journey is not free, nor cheap. Get ready to sacrifice some shit, if you really want it.
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Also, I'm against building home labs for this specific journey. Just sign on with a training partner, and they'll have you covered. <br>

<div dir="auto">That's just my opinion. </div>
