Hi Janina, I hope you have seriously read and considered Jason's posting concerning the way in which RedHat appears to handle (or more like not handle) accessibility issues with respect to their RHCE certification. I will probably be doing this sometime next year, and it sounds like RedHat is even worse than Microsoft in this area! Hmmm, RedHat, Linux, open source??? Jason's experience sounds like the 180 degree opposite to me. Do you have any ideas for those of us who are soon to be aspiring RHCE folks? Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" <janina@afb.net> To: "Jeremy Hogan" <jhogan@redhat.com> Cc: <blinux-list@redhat.com>; "William F.
