LinuxCertified.com, a leading provider of Linux training, will
offer its next weekend system administration bootcamp on June
2 – 3, 2001 in San Francisco bay area (south bay). This workshop
is designed for busy information technology professionals
and is designed to cover the most important Linux administration
areas.

In addition to carefully designed lecture material delivered by
experienced Linux professionals, there is a heavy emphasis on
hands-on learning. The training starts two weeks before the actual
class, with access to an online Linux server, where students
complete few challenging pre-class activities. Attendees get a
powerful Linux laptop on their arrival, along with other class
materials. They load Linux on their laptop during the class, and
use it for all the class activities and assignments. At the end
of the class they take this laptop with them to further enhance
their Linux expertise. Absolute beginners with no UNIX experience
can first come to the popular “Linux for Beginners” class and
subsequently join the system administration bootcamp.

Rapid growth of Linux into corporate and government IT environ-
ments is fueling the need for Linux certified professionals. CIOs
and managers are eager to have Linux experts in their organiza-
tions. A certification provides a tangible mechanism for their
hiring evaluation, as well as a means to market the prowess of
organizations.

“As an independent IT consultant I am always on my toes to learn
new technologies, without much free time to devote to classes.
The LinuxCertified.com bootcamp was a perfect way for me to jump-
start my Linux knowledge. I can now use Linux as a valuable
tool in my career,” said Taylor Cottam, an independent consultant
who joined one of the LinuxCertified.com weekend bootcamps.

This weekend bootcamp is specially designed to prepare the at-
tendees for the objectives of Level 1 certification exams offered
by Linux Professional Institute (LPI). The workshop also meets
the objectives of the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam and
Sair Linux & GNU certification (LCA).

Our attendees build a strong sense of community with our instructors,
fellow students, and our network of recruiters and companies
looking for Linux consultants.

Posted at LWN.net: Updated gnupg packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.2, 7, and 7.1.
These updates address a potential vulnerability which could allow an
attacker to compute a user’s secret key.

LWN,net has a report from a LUG meeting where Shane O’Donnell, project manager for the OpenNMS project, explained his project.

Anonymous Reader writes, “Yep, if you want to keep the tunes you download from these services you have to repay for them every month. After 30 days if you don’t renew the license the files expire.” The

story’s at MP3newswire.net.

Anonymous Reader writes, “Steven Johnson responds to Craig Mundie’s Microsoft ‘shared source’ speech in an new piece up on FEED. He strongly disagrees with Mundie’s stance, stating that ‘If creative destruction is a hallmark of the new new economy, if we’re fated to live through increasingly turbulent economic times, then open source software isn’t one of the causes behind that volatility. It’s an antidote.’

Posted at LWN.net: Updated Kerberos 5 packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.2, 7,
and 7.1. These updates close a potential vulnerability present in the
gssapi-aware ftpd included in the krb5-workstation package.

CNet reports that Sharp is planning to release a laptop with a Transmeta processor
in Japan next month. Sharp’s Mebius PC-SX1-H1 notebook will use Transmeta’s 600MHz Crusoe
processor. More from Wired.com.

ZDNet has commentary from Microsoft’s Craig Mundie about reactions to his anti-Open Source speech May 3. ”
In my speech, I did not question the right of the open-source software model to compete in the
marketplace. The issue at hand is choice; companies and individuals should be able to choose
either model, and we support this right. I did call out what I believe is a real problem in the licensing
model that many open-source software products employ: the General Public License.”

We’re not sure if this belongs here or is flamebait, but what the heck? Manny writes, “Could it be that the idealistic (but quixotic) posse that is riding out against Craig Mundie are actually witless ground troops for IBM? Are they nothing more than human fodder in the rhetorical screedwar, taking the bullets while IBM is nowhere to be seen? Where is Oliver Stone when you really NEED him? Microsoft now has a “shared source” page to counterbalance IBM’s open source page.”

http://www.camelot-com.com/ — Camelot Communications and the Apache Software Foundation today announced ApacheCon Europe will be held in Dublin, Ireland, 15 through 17 October. Coming off another successful ApacheCon in Santa Clara, during which the Apache Web Server beta 2.0 was launched, the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) signed on Camelot Communications to produce the official Apache conference for the next three years.
“ApacheCon combines the energy and enthusiasm of hundreds of open source software developers, the humor and spirit of great minds like David Brin and John “maddog” Hall, and the organizational and marketing talents of Camelot Communications. We are proud to move forward with such a highly respected conference producer. In October 2001, Dublin, Ireland, a burgeoning software development center, will be ground-zero for Apache,” said Ken Coar, ASF Board Member.

“Camelot Communications greatly appreciates the endorsement and continued support of the Apache Software Foundation. The open source movement and many of the great ideas that spawn the future of software development stem from the ApacheCon sessions and hackathons,” said Terry DeGiuli, President of Camelot Communications. “This Fall, vendors, expert speakers, and developers seeking an edge will convene in Dublin and spread the Apache way.”
