hi orly and all,
since we're on the topic...
qlinux offers linux training
http://www.q-linux.com/qlinuxlabs.html
http://www.q-linux.com/core_courses.html
all courses are complete with:
training manuals
heavy lunch and snacks
1 pc per student
exercises galore and final exams
prices start at P7,888 +VAT for
a 40hr linux course
there are a lot of ways to get discounts,
and we're working on scholarship schemes
for students and/or gov't agencies.
and so far, we don't have a training course
which goes for P31,000 :)
hth,
-eric
ps.
personally, i don't belong to the dept
which handles linux training, but i
notice that we do get a lot of past students
enrolling for more advanced courses,
maybe that says something :)
