redhat problems

[Patrick Turnage]

Hello
I think that RH has a really good reason for keeping speakup out of the
kernel at this time. They have some valid complaints about it and when
those are addressed it probably will end up in the distribution again.
I do think if you want to take the RHCE exams they should be a little more
occomidating.
They have the right to make  whatever policy they want with regard to their
exam documentation but a NDA is a binding contract between RH and the
person taking the exam. 
If you want to write to RH it should be to ask them to attempt to develop
policies that allow disabled persons to take part in their training
matterial and to have some equal or as close to equal access during the
RHCE exams..
Oh on another note.. I had a computer wqith windows XP. It for some reason
did not boot.. I took a standard slack root disk and a custom kernel and
loadlin put it on a cd  and connected my usb hard drive and backed up all
my data.. Linux is flexible it has saved me more times thatn I can even
count.. Once I used Linux on a zip drive for a month while my notebook's
hard drive was off being repaired. With a little customization only booting
was the issue.. Of course after a month of use that zip disk stopped
working but still.
I see all these MCSE's walking around my college campus and when I talk to
them about Linux for access to hard drives that have failed they just say
they don't use it.. I'm glad I learned it and to anybody who is just
begining to explore Linux your doing yourself a favor..
sincerely,
Patrick
