Formal training courses in FreeBSD administration will be few and far between. FreeBSD isn't supported by any commercial organization that tries to create a market in FreeBSD-related jobs -- some would say that a direct consequence of this is the high quality of FreeBSD itself, and of the typical people that work with it. Your best bet would be to find a contractor willing to provide some training courses. Most people achieve competence at dealing with FreeBSD by their own independent efforts: by playing with the OS as a hobby, reading books and documentation, by absorbing knowledge from colleagues. It's not a learning style that suits everyone, and the informal nature of such learning means that it can be hard to assess competence simply from a CV or job application. Hence there has been a move to providing BSD Certification in recent years (not just Free- but Open-, Net- etc): see http://www.bsdcertification.org/ Cheers, Matthew - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuaFXAACgkQ8Mjk52CukIyzsQCcDDHj/gqeDTNf673C37LfU45K ExIAn3r6G/l3DKp00Mr8iH7R0igemTC+ =0RwN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
