Hi Joanne,

I stuck your email in my folder and will keep you posted.  Vance suggested I 
set up a wiki site.  I will try that tomorrow and send out an email to the 
group. You make a total of 7 folks including me that are interested.

It looks like we are leaning toward LPI/ubuntu cert for starters.  RedHat is 
an alternative, but I think we aren't going that way now.

Greg
