==PC Laboratory Facilities:==
The following facilities have been offered for labs:
* [http://www.nbi.edu Newport Business Institute Lower Burrel - Mike Griffin]
* [http://www.protechtraining.com/ ProTech Training, Monroeville - Scott McFall]
* [http://www.zioncc.org/ Zion Christian Church, Carrick, Pittsburgh, South Hills - Greg Simkins]

Please list ideas for labs:
* We could get a group together to install Edubuntu and Linux Terminal Server Project at Zion Christian Church. This would be ideal for these PCs which are a few years old at this point. We have an old NT server which we could reinstall as the Terminal Server and we could configure the PCs to boot over the network and load the OS, etc.

Linux Cert Study Group A group within WPLUG interested in preparing for some sort of Certification (Redhat, LPI, etc.)

Review Resources:


Certification Test Facilities:

New Horizons Pittsburgh New Horizons aka Prometric Prometric

Red Hat's courses (and exams) are hosted by Riverhead Training (www.riverheadtraining.com) in downtown Pittsburgh. Red Hat is somewhat unique in the industry in that their adminster their exams themselves and not thru an independent channel such as VUE or Prometric.

Red Hat exams are also much more expensive than typical IT certifications. I (Scott McFall) believe the RHCT is around $300 and the RHCE is about $750.

The RHCT/RHCE certification has historically be the most highly touted but it's starting to decline and the LPI certifications are catching up.
