[Abu Noah]

Yeah?

I cant say, but it is a brilliant idea.

[Abu Noah]

why do you want redhat training?

I want to keep my skills upto date,

Cisco or Microsoft training is just to boring for me, but I quite like Linux, weird I know :rubeyes:

only reason i asked was because i was going to ask you to tell them your answer to my question. i dont think they will like that answer. they didn't like it in my firm lol

normally they dontgive training unless it benefits them in someway.

they way you approach it must look good on their business perspective. Its delusional to ask for Linux training where they only have Windows enviroment. IT business is not as hot as they used to be.
The other option if you want to take it further, to convince them how reliable, scalable, and cost consious Linux system is compare to Windows. then make them a convert. I seriously doubt that you would get cost saving advantages on Redhat Linux over Windows. You proabably can get the OS free but they are not cheap in tech support.

most of our servers are Linux, I have some skills already but because I am self taught I have gaps in my knowledge,

then you have a better shot in selling your self to get certification !!

[.: Rashid :.]

I don't get the whole training thing... :S

Most of the linux uber geeks are entirely self taught...certificates are to show you know stuff to companies that are tarty enough to ask for them (a lot of companies) but I dunno how much you actually learn on the course.

Id be interested in doing a test or something for one of these certificates...see what I get :p

yeah but with a certification, they can pinpoint the minimum amoutn of knowledge your expected to have. that translates to $$$ (or in ur case, pound pound pound) [sorry i donno how to input the GBP symbol]

I guess, but its dumb when they turn down people without an official certification, even when they're as or even more able to do the job as someone with a cert.

and lol...we have both £ and $ and € symbols on our keyboard...its shift + 3 for us. What's above 3 for you? :S
