Re: [school-discuss] [novalug] Good News on the Educational Front

Karl,

I can't forget the two principals of Comptia sitting in front of me at 
the hearing on the Open Source Texas Bill (S.B. 1579) lobbying against 
it. They are not friends of Open Source.

Given what they said, I believe they're astroturfers getting as much 
intelligence on Linux useage as Microsoft wants them to collect.

Also, the popular certifications at Universities are Red Hat Academy and 
Linux Professional Institute.

I recommend against cross posting this. Of course, you can walk out on a 
plank blind-folded if you prefer.
