DSL has been down for days, limiting research. I am pretty agreeable on 
all options. I would put the RH cert last but don't feel strongly about 
any of them.

I live in Boca Raton.

I am also agreeable with almost any day or evening of the week. I pretty 
much make my own hours (unless something craps out). I would prefer not 
to go too late at night but evenings are fine. Sat morning OK prefer 
10:00 or later. I would guess 1.5 hours would be productive. My 
experience in such efforts is that when things get really interesting, 
people hang around and discuss. When things bog down, people end it (or 
revert to sexual fantasies :)

I have not had any experience with any study guides, nor could I find 
any at B&N, but I do like Running Linux (although I would have to get 
the new edition, mine is the 3rd edition).

Sounds good, I am willing to participate but linger in the slow group, 
you would need patience.

Will do more research when they fix my connection. I don't have a modem 
that will work with Linux, so am waiting for the DSL gods to give me a 
break. I get to do email about every 4 or 5 hours.
