Slashdot Mirror
First Red Hat Academy for High School
FrankBama writes "As a follow-up to the story of a few days ago, Red Hat has started a program in my old hometown. The story's at the News & Record. I love this part '...this training normally would cost more than $10,000. But Weaver students can get Red Hat certification free -- and use it get a job paying more than $30,000 a year right out of high school.'"
slashdot sucks shit. the code is seriously fucked. malda doesn't know fuck.
Hi. I'm Alan Cox, Open Source advocate, Linux advocate, and primary coder for Linux's TCP/IP stack. I hope I'm welcome in the Slashdot forums, as til this point, I've been a totally arrogant, antisocial bastard to the community which barely pays for my lifestyle.
In regards to the TCP/IP stack in Linux and my arrogant attitude, I must apologize: as you all already knew, and I just recently admitted to myself, FreeBSD's TCP/IP stack is far superior to Linux's, and to top it off, Microsoft has proven many a time that even the TCP/IP code found in Windows NT functions better than the drivel I have generated myself. Boy, what a humbler that is! It was like RMS and ESR yelling at me on my own front porch (well it's not really my front porch, it's the landlady's, in front of my one-bed, half-bathroom hovel, but you get the point)!
I'd also like to say, in regards to those who read and post in Slashdot's forums... I am sure I will be seeing Alien Cox, Alan Cocks, Alan Coox, Anal Cox, Anal Cocks, Alien Cocks and the like. Please, please, please, for those of you who take Slashdot posting seriously (as I do now, amen!) do not let these crank posters (heretofore to be called "trolls") ruin CmdrTaco's bountiful Slashdot experience! "Trolls" take some delight in confusing the populace and causing disparity in the community. Take the time to learn the real from the fake, as I have (re: how I admitted to myself my TCP/IP stack for Linux actually sucks)!
You stupid cocksucker. It looks like the Linux cult has warped your mind if you're saying fucking retarded things like that.
Only learn Linux and you are not going to get very far in IT, you penis-hugging moron.
30k out of HS with a RHCE? Yeah, smoke some more.
I have a 2-year degree, a brace of 4-year degrees, and as many Linux certs (LCP and LCA), as well as 8 years experience as a firmware engineer, and still can't get a tech job.
Oh, wait, did the article forget to mention that McDonald's has started accepting an RHCE in place of sending management candidates to Hamburger U? Silly me. Must have missed that.
Either that, or RedHat will hire them as instructors to spread their certs-in-HS program to other places. LinuxGruven, anyone?
I make that in retail computer sales at 21 while going to college in my spare time. Heck, one of the women I work with makes over $50,000.
Microsoft is a molopolist, it used or attempted to use its molopoly in operating systems to gain additional monopolies and destroy competitors. Redhat didn't.
Not yet at least... Wait until they're the only commercial Linux distribution left.
About 3 hours ago, I bought SuSE Linux 8.1 Professional for 79.99.
:-)
Should I return it and get the $149.99 RedHat 8.0 Professional ?
Which is the best Linux Distro ? And which has the best usability (fonts, performance, compabitility etc.) vs price ratio ?
I am also planning to run a website using slashcode someday...
Thanks for your suggestions
