[ILUG] [OT] general thoughts on another free Linux Internet s ervice?

[Burke, Gary : GIG IS&T]

For Linux certification, check out
http://www.globalknowledge.ie
Although they are a recognised MS training centre, they are also the first
in Ireland (and the UK, I think), to offer RedHat certification - they do a
few 4 day courses.

DCU, I believe, is still churning out students with at least some Unix
(Solaris) experience.  Don't know if they teach it or not.
