[ubuntu-za] linux opportunities/training

[Hilton Gibson]

Hi Ken

My advice would be to ask the Linux User Group in Gauteng to draw up a
list of companies providing Linux support services in Gauteng. Then
ask the novice to send his CV to each one, stressing that he/she is
new but hard working and very eager to learn.

Cheers
