Inver Hills Community College and several others have Linux classes. Also, there are several roving classes from Red Hat and others that land here off and on during the year. Inver Hills http://depts.inverhills.edu/cect/ Minnesota State Colleges http://www.mnscu.edu/ Linux Professional Institute http://lpi.org/en/home.html Check Red Hat, Suse, etc. for links to courses and schools, etc. The biggest problem with most of the certification is for only one OS or vendor. I have all kinds of HP certification which is no good as far as a Sun or AIX shop is concerned. But I have worked on all three and I started with Xenix. So pick your poison.
