Kenneth is the lead courseware developer for Linux classes with SkillBridge.
Kenneth and his associates have been using Unix since 1980, *BSD systems
(the original Berkeley Unix, followed by FreeBSD and OpenBSD) since
1985, and GNU/Linux systems since 1990. Kenneth started as a system
administrator of these systems in 1985. This extensive experience
allows Kenneth to ensure that the students learn why something
is useful, not just how to use it. Because Kenneth and his associates
work in industry on real problems, the classes are not just theoretical,
but carry real-world experience. The course materials regularly receive
rave reviews for their thoroughness; they are much more than just a
printout of a set of Powerpoint slides.
Beyond Red Hat
(CentOS),
we also have experience with SuSE, and Debian. We also regularly work with
OpenBSD and FreeBSD.
