Below is what I returned to Redhat this morning, posted here for the comical value, I have a nice story on RH and how they cost me 40mins on the phone and about $45 as well........I was part of the reseller program, they had my home address, was clearly stated was Australia. I was invited to join a teleconference, upon doing so I announced who I was, and that I resided in Australia. After listening for 40 mins or so of babelling on how good Redhat is (the company itself, not the software) we were told the program was not open to those outside the US, what a bunch of turkeys ! to say the least. They also never bothered to return an email to explain how this situation occurred, even after I personally emailed the speakers on this conference, actually because I did not even get a sorry or anything is why this is here. In case no one knows, you can hate MS as much as you like, but they will help resellers, or anyone who wants to sell there product, to a great extent. Is there anyone in RH I should send all this crap too ? (todays whine) Hi Thought I would have a look at who I would be dealing with, who was behind registration in Australia, you gave http://www.ezumi.com/redhat_au.html so went to http://www.ezumi.com and there is a nice web page offering much credibility on the company, below is the text, there is no way I am handing them close enough to $4k ..... please remove me from your mail list. web text at http://www.ezumi.com shown below ======================= Yeah Baby!! ========================== PS the LPI has beaten you here, and looks much more credible http://www.lpi.org/ *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 12/01/00 at 17:29 Red Hat Education wrote: >Red Hat -- the market leader in Linux and open source software, services >and information -- is pleased to announce the first series of >Red Hat Certified Engineer (tm) courses in Australia. > >The Red Hat Certified Engineer Program (RHCE)--the leading Linux >certification--is exactly what you need to build your skills and your >confidence.
