[ubuntu-us-ma] Open Source friendly beginning computer skill's certifications. - Ubuntu Desktop

[Martin Owens]

Thanks Chris,

This is an interesting course and I know some of the folks at Canonical
doing some of the work.

How much would be a good amount to pay for such a certification?
Canonical's other training has been pricey, but it was more advanced.

Martin,
