[lugm.org] Linux Training

[Ish Sookun]

Well, I wouldn't go down the way endorsing any institute or publishing
testimonials. Certainly that's not our job. I was only thinking a page
listing the training centres offering Linux courses in Mauritius. Those
companies may contact us to get their name listed, after providing credible
info that they offer the courses.

You do have a point on the "advert" side, Jochen, and maybe we should skip
that part. I however find it useful to provide one page with "local"
contacts to ease the search for new folks. Just a suggestion though ( :

Cheers!
