I was browsing their site when I found this page describing their new certification (CLE) under their certifications programs. Looks like they are positioning their well respected certification program for their newest asset."
or for only $1250 you can sign up for *my* course where we even show you how to build your own software from source code with the magic of "configure, make, make install"
Egads, you've never worked in an environment with more than one server, have you? If I caught one of my guys doing that, I'd either fire him (if at my civilian job) or Article 15 him (if at my Reserve unit). Never, never, ever run "configure,make,make install", take a few extra steps and build an actual package, *then* install the software. This way you can:
* back out easily. 'rpm -e' or 'pkgrm' are easier than grepping through the Makefiles for all of the installed programs and piping that to 'find / -name $1 -exec rm' or whatever.
* copy the package to other servers and install quickly and easily. This allows you create once, install anywhere, and you can even script the installation process.
* avoid overwriting existing files. Any decent package manager will complain if the target file(s) already exists.
