RE: Offering training on Linux boxes - softer market now?

Just so you know, I'm interested in learning, but don't need certification.
I don't want to learn for career but personal use.

Not that it is required, but do you have any credentials in Linux that would
allow you to issue certifications from established institutes or
organizations, other than just a "has attended" certificate ?

Do you have any industry experience in a Linux environment ? I do believe
that a Linux training course set offered to business IT staff would be
successful, but real certifications would be required.
