Linux is growing. It is now used in many everyday gadgets and is no longer just for systems administrators. This site covers topics needed for Linux software certification exams, such as the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE), Ubuntu Certified Professional (UCP), and many computer training courses.

The data center section outlines the rationale for either hosting your website in a server room or using a purpose built colocation facility and run by a third party. It also covers how to migrate your existing servers from one data center to another with many of the required check lists. The introductory Cisco VPN and firewall networking sections should be interesting for CCNA, CCNP and CCIE candidates too. Most of the site's topics are available for purchase as PDF documents.
