I know nothing about the RH eLearning course, but the O'Reilly Learning Lab was hands on. It isn't "Real World," but it WAS hands on.
That said, the course was quite basic in what it taught, and other courses might ought to be considered to supplement if there is no prior knowledge of linux systems involved.
In particular a Gamecube with GBP is capable of playing every single Zelda game ever made*
Really? When did Nintendo release Zelda II for the Game Boy? The original was recently released along with other classic NES titles, but I don't remember seeing the second one.
They are not a Microsoft only shop. They run 5 different flavors of UNIX as well.
They've recently layed off a lot of people and are restructuring / rehiring after the big internal shift. This may have something to do with the poor security. They're still hiring for security positions last I checked and DO take the security of their data seriously. I just don't think they have the manpower as of yet to lock down the systems that aren't (but should have been) locked down already.
They run 5 different UNIX flavors including Linux. They also run Windows. You shouldn't jump to conclusions just because they got hacked that they run Windows only and are a company full of MS babies.
Their customers are diverse and big name corporations. I've seen their UNIX server room (interviewed for a UNIX sysadmin position there) and they've got a couple of floors of one building dedicated to the UNIX servers alone.
I agree that many corporations need to take the steps you outlined, but Acxiom isn't one of them... they've already gone that route thanks.

Thanks. Now I'm jealous :) I didn't know they made that disk.
