TrueAbility Linux Showdown 8 - Round 1

I think TrueAbility is one of cool projects I've seen lately, I really love its model!

For professionals, you can "improve your skills through technical walkthroughs and practice what you have learned on a real server"!

On the other hand, for employers or companies that want to hire system admins/engineer/devops can "Reduce time-to-hire by spending more time with the candidates who have proven their ability to do the job"!

So, you can do it for fun, improve/test your skills ... or to find a good job! One of recently challenges was "Linux Showdown 8", I love scripting and it was really cool :D

You can find more info about "Round 1", and this was my -quick and dirty- solution :-)
