Is this spam? It wouldn't surprise me. Certified Linux people don't seem to understand community groups. Maybe it's because LPI are a free-vapourware company trying to pretend they are a community group, while moving to replace community groups with "industry" groups - LPI-UK is Open Forum Europe, for example. (Free-vapourware? Well, LPI promised Xamnet's release under GPL for years, but I can't even find Xamnet on their web site any more.)
LinuxGym.com appears to be a VMare-promotion site.
Just seen this from BBLUG:

From the Hampshire LUG mailing list:
--------------------------------------------------------
Seems like spam of a different colour. Same message came through on the SurreyLUG mailing list. If I had never seen the message before, I would have ignored it, but twice in one day on my two favourite mailing lists, and the tone of the message upsets my digestion, and yes, jim snyder if your are listening, I will follow up you posting on SurreyLUG mailing list with an identical message.
--------------------------------------------------------
Add Dorset and OxLUG to the list.
Then again i tried to avoid "certified" anythings. Exams does not equal experience.
--------------------------------------------------------
And Portsmouth LUG. :-(

So don't expect too much help from Jim.
