The two Linux certifications that qualify are LPI and Red Hat. This is yet another indication that the SAIR/GNU certification may be a loser in a future Linux certification shakeout. It also illustrates IBM's resolve to be the biggest player in the Linux and Open Source software business. THE DIALECTIZER In case you haven't heard of the Dialectizer, you're in for a treat. Go to the following web site and enter the URL for any web site. Then sit back and watch as the Dialectizer converts the text on the web site to a comic dialect. Red neck is the dialect by default but you can choose others like Jive, Cockney, and Elmer Fudd. http://www.rinkworks.com/dialect/
