                                              Introduction to Linux 
                                                                   
                                                                   
  Thanks again for your interest in "Introduction to Linux". We've been
 very gratified by the overwhelming response to this course. You're now
   part of a course community that exceeds a quarter million people. To
         celebrate this milestone, the Linux Foundation is offering all
   enrollees, for a limited time, a $100 discount on our newly launched
                                                certification exams.
                                                                   
  Simply click here and enter the code LFCERT100 at checkout to receive
this exclusive discount. This offer is only valid for 1 week, so act now
(and don't worry, you have an entire 12 months from the date you sign up
to schedule your choice of date and take the exam, so there's plenty of
           time to get ready). You can see all the details of these new
              Certifications at: www.linuxfoundation.org/certification.
                                                                   
 As with any endeavour of this scale, the initial version of the course
      was not perfect and we've been working to make it even better. Of
 course, we didn't do this on our own. We truly appreciate the patience
    and diligence of our early users, who pointed out many places where
   corrections were needed. There are several updates we'd like to make
(such as reordering some of the chapters), which would seriously disrupt
              the experience for users who are currently in the course.
                                                                   
    As a result, we've decided to issue a second version of the course,
       which will start on January 5, 2015. The current version will be
 available until December 20, 2014. You'll therefore have until then to
      complete the course and take the final exam if you wish to earn a
certificate of completion or the Verified Certificate you may have paid
      for. The second version will be available for enrollment starting
                                                        October 2nd.
