[LUAU] on Linux training

[Mark Thompson]

Local Training update: PCATT currently lists in their Dec-Feb class guide,
two classes that are meant to lead to the RHCE certification. The classes
are: 
Red Hat Linux Network Applications (RHA 230)	$995.00	Feb-April
Red Hat Linux Security Administration (RHA 250) $995.00	May-Jul
Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) Certification Lab Exam	$449.00
July 14

PCATT is also making the above available as a bundle for $2149.
In comparison to the prices that I have seen for classes through Red Hat,
the above prices seem generous to me. To take the RHCE lab exam, PCATT only
requires that one class be taken as a minimum. 

Usually I am a quiet lurker on the list, but this time I do have something
to say besides the above. The Red Hat classes listed above only require a
minimum of four people. As of a week ago, I and four others were signed up
for the Net Apps class. On Friday I received a call from PCATT stating that
the class was cancelled/postponed because two people had dropped out. 
SO, I am making a request/plea that if anyone may have some interest in this
type of thing, now would be a really nice time to show it and help get this
class going. 

I admit that I have been disappointed at how little response PCATT seems to
bet getting with these classes. I know this is short notice, but the people
at PCATT indicated they would run the class once they have the min of four. 
Check it out for yourself, http://paw.pcatt.org/pcatt/index.html.


Thanks,

Mark Thompson

Oahu is one of the few locations in the country with a local
Red Hat Academy at PCATT. Academies can currently teach and
administer tests for the RHCT and are on their way to providing
the RHCE and security related offerings.

In addition, HOSEF started the negotiations for Novell to offer
a Linux+ derivative to the DOE, catering to folks with no Linux
background. Novell did not have an Academy program that targetted
schools when we first talked to them. The first instructor's
class ran a month ago.

For those that just want solutions, I there is always that
consultant directory that is being setting up. :)
