LinuxCertified.com announces the weekend certification
bootcamp for IT professionals
- - All attendees get a free Linux laptop!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Media Contact: Rajesh Goyal, rajesh@linuxcertified.com
http://www.linuxcertified.com/
LinuxCertified.com, a leading provider of Linux training,
will offer its next weekend bootcamp on September 16-17th
in San Francisco bay area (south bay). This workshop is
designed for busy IT professionals and prepares them for
Linux Certification exams. Attendees get a powerful Linux
laptop on their arrival, along with other class materials.
They load Linux on their laptop during the class, and use
it for all the class activities and assignments. At the
end of the class they take this laptop with them to further
enhance their Linux expertise.
Rapid growth of Linux into corporate IT environments is
fueling the need for Linux certified professionals. CIOs
and managers are eager to have Linux experts in their
organizations. A certification provides a tangible mechanism
for their hiring evaluation, as well as a means to market
the prowess of organizations.
The weekend bootcamp is specially designed to prepare the
attendees for the objectives of Level 1 certification exams
offered by Linux Professional Institute (LPI). The workshop
also meets the objectives of the Red Hat Certified Engineer
(RHCE) exam and Sair Linux & GNU certification. Our attendees
build a strong sense of community with our instructors,
fellow students, and our network of recruiters and companies
looking for Linux consultants.
About LinuxCertified.com
The mission of LinuxCertified.com is to bring Linux to
mainstream IT usage. We firmly believe that Linux has
an enormous potential, once it crosses over from the early
adopters to the more mainstream users. Our goal is to help
this transition by providing:
- - Linux trained and certified professionals
- - Linux certified products that cater to mainstream users
rather than early adopters.

wayV (http://wayv.sourceforge.net) is a project to extend the functionality of
the mouse and develop experimental user interfaces. This is achieved by
allowing a user to make gestures with the mouse, resulting in an action
occuring (i.e., draw anywhere on your desktop, an N and Netscape starts, a

Subject: MandrakeSoft Appoints Internet Pioneer Henri Poole as CEO.
Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 19:05:47 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
San Francisco, CA, August 7, 2000 - MandrakeSoft, the company behind
the world's fastest-growing Linux operating system, Linux-Mandrake,
today announced the appointment of Internet industry pioneer Henri
Poole as its new Chief Executive Officer. Poole also joins the board
of directors of the company.
Prior to joining MandrakeSoft, Mr. Poole, 36, co-founded and held the
position of Chairman and CEO of Vivid Studios, one of the world's
premier Internet professional services firms.
Mr. Poole states, "I am excited to join a company whose spirit, youth
and commitment to open-source values has made it the fastest growing
Linux distributor in the world. MandrakeSoft has brought Linux to a
much larger audience and challenged the market leader by making the
operating system more user-friendly. We all benefit, especially our
users, from healthy competition."
In less than two years in business, MandrakeSoft has won numerous
awards, rave reviews and taken over 30% of the US retail market for
Linux. The company is rapidly expanding its service offering and plans
to stay fully committed to the core values of the open source
community that has supported its success.
"Henri's experience in providing highly-technical solutions to
fast-growing clients is very valuable to MandrakeSoft," says Jacques
Le Marois, founder and former CEO of MandrakeSoft. "His knowledge of
the Internet culture will be indispensable as we grow our
international community of developers and service offerings." Mr. Le
Marois will retain the position of chairman and continue his active
involvement in the open-source community.
About MandrakeSoft
MandrakeSoft publishes the Linux-Mandrake operating system, based on
open-source development (which provides free access to source code
published in accordance with a General Public License, or GPL).
Several hundred developers throughout the world contribute to the
constant improvement of the product directly over the Internet. This
international developer community has given Linux-Mandrake a product
that is available in over 40 languages.
Linux-Mandrake is a very complete system with a choice of several
powerful, pre-configured graphic interfaces (notably the leaders KDE
and GNOME), as well as more than 1,700 applications including Netscape
Communicator, the StarOffice suite and the Apache Web server.
In a testament to its success, MandrakeSoft received the awards for «
Best Product of the Year » and « Best Linux-Distribution/Server » at
LinuxWorld Expo 99. The company has signed a strategic partnership
with the American publisher Macmillan, and a distribution agreement
with Kasper. Since 1999, Linux-Mandrake has held the number one spot
in Linux North American sales for Macmillan, selling twice as much as
the number two contender.
Born on the Internet, MandrakeSoft established headquarters in
Pasadena (U.S.) and Paris (Europe). Please visit the Web site,
www.linux-mandrake.com for more information.
