Funding is none existant this is for personal development most/all my garage clients use Windows and $Dayjob$ is either Windows or IBM with high restrictions in place. I figure in a couple of more years moving on to another job elsewhere and want to have enough knowledge to work in a more varied OS environment. I like to keep at least 3 study paths open at any given time to keep me busy and learning. At the moment I am looking at Direct Access and PKI so I need a third subject.
