I wondered that - hmm - my old employer use to own a load of
copyrights on training material, wonder whether they still use
it. I think there is some Copyleft training material now as
well.

I think the costs are equipment, and marketing, certainly in the
South East a shiny PC for each attendee was required.

When I first did DNS, my colleague said "It can't be that hard,
Americans do it", and you know what - it isn't that hard and a
lot of Americans still do it very badly ;)

Hehe - on the HP course they have an "edit/delete/scrawl on some
random important files used in the boot process and hit the
power button" - most of the machines came right back up. Okay
they didn't work too well, but it is amazing what Unix will boot
without. Haven't tried these kind of abuses on Linux yet, well
not deliberately anyway.
