this can be easily resolved if we (plug) will work together will all the linux training centers in the country. maybe we can rotate the venue among them, or maybe even have it web-based, so that those in remote places won't need to go to an affiliated linux training center to take the exams. > >btw, did you know that you need windows workstations > >to be an lpi testing center? > > If it is the PLUG who will give the so-called exam then, PLUG should have a > permanent office then.

Do we have that already? imho, while i agree that we need a formal office for this (and for other future projects), we don't need a lot of workstations for the ph-linux certification program if we work with linux training centers since they already have those. thank you very much for your inputs, marvin! peace! -eric -- �.--. �Enrique D.
