I think it's a long shot but maybe you can try to convince manufacturers to also develop for linux open source drivers. It's very difficult for a newbie user to use most computer hardware due to incomplete or missing drivers.

i've already pledged a LaMP (LPI / MySQL / PHP) certification for those volunteer resource speakers on PLUG (or any recognized regional affiliates) Quarterly Seminars. however, the candidate must: - have presented at least 2 (Linux or MySQL or PHP) sessions w/in the same fiscal year. (The certification to be sponsored will be based on the topics presented, ie. Zend PHP Pro for the topics: PHP Security & PHP for Database - Driven Applications, etc.). - be an active member of PLUG or the PLUG mailing list. - not be a member of the past or present PLUG Board. the lucky volunteer was supposed to be chosen after the 3rd quarterly seminar and announced this Dec during the PLUG Christmas party. unfortunately, both events didn't occur(?). i've already discussed this with the current secretary and even mentioned to him that the closest candidate so far was Charlton Lopez which presented 2 topics on PostgreSQL although it does not fall on either Linux or MySQL or PHP category. perhaps, we should wait for another fiscal year? and who knows, RH Asia-Pacific might sponsor RHCE certifications someday (calling Mr. Harish... ) :) happy holidays! regards, Ariz On 12/29/06, Rom Feria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ... > 3.
