[NTLUG:Discuss] RHCE classes in Dallas

[Kelly Scroggins]

I'm not really interested in the cert as much as I am the education.  I
have certs in other systems.

I have two machines dedicated to linux and I've learned a lot by using
them.  However I feel I could learn more and faster in an instructor led
setting.  And an even better scenario is to have a friend who is a guru
and let's you hang out and ask stupid questions.

Any guru's out there want to adopt a "grasshopper"? ;-)
