Indeed, there are many companies that offer Linux-based training in the 
Atlanta area that should receive a fair-shake on getting their name out.  
So, now the box top is open, how should we best proceed?  Invite a once 
yearly posting so folks can find the companies in the archives?  Perhaps 
ALE can invite corporate sponsorship like the AUUG does?  Don't know what 
the right answer is.

Keep in mind folks who are the best trainers are only sometimes those with
certs. There is no "rule" involved.

It's already been discussed about as much as is deserved but yes, I'll 
agree with the above statement.
