  4. LPI Training on Best Training in Linux Administration? · · Score: 1

    I think the Linux Professional Insitute (LPI) certification is the best vendor neutral ticket out there. LPIC Level 1 certification is two exams LPI101 & 102 aimed at Junior Sysadmins, you'll need several years' hands on Linux experience before you start reviewing the exa objectives. More information ay http://www.lpi.org

    Wel, wait as long as you like wherever you are, but in Scotland (UK/Europe/East of NY State) the kids are either SuSe8.1 or RH 8.0 (I know, I help the schols migrations from Mac/Win). XP appears to be a difficult GUI, we find KDE 3.0+ better for 'basic it user skills' users and above.

    So stow this XP nonsense ;)

    They also fail in that they are not built for normal use. I know, I've used one since about 1985. They break really easily. This new arm doesn't seem much different from the Otto Bock manufactured myoelectric arm I used to use (gold electrodes for picking up the right/left electrical signals from skin surface on arm). I'm not sure how 'new' this technology actually is, or in practice, the fact that they are rolling them out to kids. When the NHS switched to Steepers instead of Otto Bock for supply, the build quality seemed to suffer as well, I gave up using my myo a couple of years ago, (after 10 years using a 'bionic' arm on and off) as it was pretty impractical, battery life, random signals and motor ticks, uncomfortable socket fit, but I'm going to try again up at PMR, see what these 'new' ones are like.
