[nmglug] Open Source Certification

[Doug Schocke]

Evans
Passed A+ hardware and software a few years ago by doing an course and,
most important, doing a good RFB (book=B instead of manual).  Also would
like to know what book you used for Linux+ -- was it directed toward
Linux+ or general introduction to linux?
