Hi Michael, Sounds like the course is a good idea. You can probably learn more effectively through the course than by yourself. It can jump-start your Linux career, so go for it. But don't expect it to cut much ice with employers who need really qualified or really motivated Linux engineers. For that you'll need the track record that I mentioned previouosly. - yba On Thu, 7 Sep 2006, Michael Jaffe wrote: > Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2006 22:46:19 -0700 (PDT) > From: Michael Jaffe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Red Hat SysAdmin Course > > > --0-481231148-1157694379=:3117 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > > Actually, the Red Hat course I was considering does not result, by itself, in > any certification.
