[clue-cert] Course and training designing

Thanks for your offer but someone just the other day offered the same level of training that you are for free with.? Everyone who I have spoke to will be taking this route and so will I.

The Ubuntu portion would be an addition to the LPIC-1 classes (two, LPI-101 and 
LPI-102) and geared towards the Ubuntu Certified Professional.  The latter 
requires the prior certification to be complete for reference, but if there are 
those who want to learn Ubuntu a bit more specific versus "Linux" (distribution 
neutral) I am open to thoughts there.

On the note of the N CO Ubuntu study folks, how many are interested in such?  In 
house classroom style or remote learning as well?

That is a discussion for CLUE-Talk I will confess.  What you have is the 
"commercial distributions" (e.g., RedHat, Novell/SuSE, and Ubuntu) that offer 
"commercial support".  Companies want to have some validation and quantification 
of things, hence they look for such.  The opposite angle is the "community 
distributions" (e.g., CentOS, OpenSuSE, and Ubuntu/Debian) which folks come 
around with "why pay for something that is free (as in 'free beer')" mentality.  
Personally, I am comfortable going across both since Linux ETC does consulting 
and training as is most of our staff.  In the end...*gasps*...it is a management 
decision and being able to sell to management.

Side note, for reference, Ubuntu is one of the 
cross overs where you do not have 
to pay for it license wise.  You can pay for the support though via Canonical.

FWIW.
