| <smoenux> this is my first time on the za channel | |
| <smoenux> Doing anything interesting? | |
| <linuxboy> i got starwars 4-6 yesterday | |
| <linuxboy> checking them out | |
| <linuxboy> nothing happens in ubuntu-za | |
| <linuxboy> :) | |
| <smoenux> hehe | |
| <smoenux> nice | |
| <smoenux> I actually have to go to sleep soon... because I work nightshifts | |
| <smoenux> my week starts tonight | |
| <smoenux> >.< | |
| <linuxboy> wow | |
| <linuxboy> where do you work ? | |
| <smoenux> Vodacom.... | |
| <smoenux> We monitor and manage the Mobile TV channels | |
| <linuxboy> ah | |
| <linuxboy> you know liam smit ? | |
| <smoenux> O.o | |
| <smoenux> yes.... well not personally... just seen the name fly around on some emails | |
| <smoenux> :P | |
| <linuxboy> yeah | |
| <linuxboy> he is a clug guy | |
| <smoenux> clug? | |
| <smoenux> you mean lug? | |
| <smoenux> ? | |
| <linuxboy> clug | |
| <linuxboy> www.clug.org.za | |
| <smoenux> oh.. cool... so I was almost right :P | |
| <smoenux> didn't know what the c was for .. hehe | |
| <linuxboy> well... | |
| <linuxboy> no | |
| <linuxboy> lug is a common word | |
| <linuxboy> (in the linux community) | |
| <smoenux> yeah | |
| <smoenux> Do you know of any good places that do correspondence courses for Linux? (Pretoria preferably) | |
| <linuxboy> nope | |
| <linuxboy> what courses do you want to do ? | |
| <smoenux> I've been on Linux now for about 5 months, and I'm very happy with it. Would like to expand my possibilities with it further, as a Technician. | |
| <smoenux> well... mainly security and admin | |
| <linuxboy> well... | |
| <linuxboy> lpi | |
| <linuxboy> they are having issues in south africa at teh moment | |
| <linuxboy> www.lpi.org | |
| <linuxboy> you can write teh exams at pometric | |
| <linuxboy> prometric | |
| <linuxboy> or linux+ | |
| <linuxboy> (www.comptia.org) | |
| <smoenux> I want to start a business to help other businesses to "make the switch" etc. | |
| <linuxboy> you can buy the books on kalahari/amazon | |
| <smoenux> cool.. thanks... I'll have a look | |
| <linuxboy> LPI is cool | |
| <linuxboy> I got LPI 1 | |
| <linuxboy> there is an Ubuntu one | |
| <smoenux> cool :) | |
| <smoenux> Did you do that via correspondence? or full-time? | |
| <linuxboy> i read the book | |
| <linuxboy> wrote the exam | |
| <linuxboy> done | |
| <smoenux> oh.. cool | |
| <smoenux> hehe... sorry for all the questions :P ... I have one more... ^_^ | |
| <linuxboy> np | |
| <smoenux> Are you working professionally with Linux atm? | |
| <linuxboy> yeah | |
| <smoenux> cool :) ... hehe .... In that case I'm definitely gonna check out LPI, since you recommended it. | |
| <linuxboy> I would say LPI | |
| <linuxboy> then linux+ | |
| <linuxboy> most of the linux people know about LPI | |
| <linuxboy> so it may be 'worth more' | |
| <linuxboy> the problem with LPI is that you can't buy level 2 or 3 books | |
| <smoenux> ah ok... how would you do those exams then? Go to classes etc? | |
| <linuxboy> you go write them somewhere | |
| <linuxboy> lpi.org.za used to organise them | |
| <linuxboy> but you can try prometric test centers | |
| <smoenux> ok... cool ... thanks for the info :) ... I gotta go get some sleep now | |
| <smoenux> Guess I'll see you around :) | |
| <smoenux> Have a Happy day! | |
| <linuxboy> _HI_ | |
| <_MILL_> hey |
