RedHat Learning..........

Everyday another story comes out about the increasing use of Linux in the enterprise and how Linux, mainly RedHat on the server side is taking a bite out of Redmond’s revenue stream. If you want to learn about Linux server technologies you might be hard pressed to find a networking class at your community college, that offers you the chance to learn about RedHat, and how their server software works. I did a little digging on RedHat.com and came up with some facts. One RedHat does offer training at various institutions around the country and on-line. They even offer various self paced classes online for a price. Even though they say self paced what they mean is that you have three months to complete the class. Prices range from $1120-1599 depending on the class. You can check out the classes and their prices by clicking on the following link.
