Thanks, Alexei, all of you guys :)
This document is not actually a *real* plan to fight with scenario,
it's way too complex to memorize. :)
I think of it as of some sort of cram-paper, that I would like to read over
last few days before actual try... Just to put things on their places, and
calm a bit :)
After long run of home labs, one should probably have clear
undestanding of his own strategy. I wrote mine list after almost year
of labbing :)
Like you, Alexei, pointed, real lab success depends greatly on
one's attention to really small (but precious) details. I try to guess
all this little things beforehead. That's why I try to list as much
options in my list as possible. This is exhaustive, but that brings some
discipline in mind.
I thinks every one should stop at least once in his labbing practice,
and try to make a summary of what he learned. I hope my list
will help somebody out here to draw his own list too.
Petr
PS
There are also part2 & part3 coming soon.. :)
And Alexei, once again, thank you for your advices/comments :)
