Hi Folks, This is a copy of an email I just received from IBM Developer Works(yes I am a member) about LPI http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/ and then hit "Linux" and then "LPI certification". Something similar is what HP should be sending out re "any" system it supports, either now or in the future if its not too late. All pertinent information is there for the selection. Well, the boat has left and some will never know it was even there. To think I almost left IS 28 years ago because of IBM's attitude(I was on IBM mainframes at HP at the time) which translated into "So what if you have to rewrite everything...", only to find HP embracing the same philosophy now after inventing MPE/iX and its tenant of evolving the OS. Apparently IBM has learned this and HP has forgotten it. What a waste..!

On the door of two coworkers' office hangs a little sign that changes every day. Friday it said, "8 days." Yesterday, "5 days." Today, finally overcome with curiosity, I knocked on the door to ask which life-altering milestone they were counting down to: a wedding or a big vacation trip or early retirement, perhaps? Not even close. Only the opening day for Spider-Man, the movie, deserves such heightened anticipation. Well, that and IBM's biggest developer conference of the year, developerWorks Live!, May 7-10 in San Francisco, of course. At the conference, you can take advantage of the no-charge LPI test, which IBM is offering in conjunction with the Linux Professional Institute (LPI). The Linux certification exam LPI-101 will be available at no-charge for all IBM PartnerWorld members, as well as any developers who already have an IBM Professional certification. To get ready, check out our set of tutorials in the developerWorks Linux zone that will help you prepare for and pass the LPI exam 101. Tutorials: http://www.ibm.com/developerWorks/education/r-lpi5.html?np-117 You also won't want to miss Thursday's party at developerWorks Live!, where Smash Mouth will perform their hits including "All Star," "Walkin on the Sun," "Then the Morning Comes," plus "I'm a Believer" from the movie "Shrek." This is your last chance to register; we're at the bottom of the countdown. Hope to see you there!
