If you missed it too: http://news.cnet.co.uk/laptops/0,39029680,49294747,00.htm PC world are now going to be selling Dell PCs and laptops in their stores.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Everyone. Just wondering if anyone knows of any company in the northwest that does Redhat training with a view to getting certified. I have spend a little time looking, and cannot really find any that are affordable! The other way I was thinking of doing it was self paced learning, ie get the books, similar to what you can do with Cisco etc. There are plenty of books on redhat, just not any on redhat + certification. Can anyone help here? Cheers Stu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you're a new member or haven't attended a meet before and can't spot us in the pub, you can call me on 07905 957838. At some of the socials we've discussed the idea of having some techie events, where we bring in some technology to experiment with, evaluate or do whatever we want....install fest anyone?! I imagined us trying out some new software / solutions in a multiple heads are better than one way. I've been looking at some possible locations and there are a few venues in Chester that we can hire quite cheaply. If you know of any suitable locations (especially if they're free!!) or are interested in such events, please get in touch.
