Re: [orca-list] talking gdm with orca in fedora

I found the following professional certification for ubuntu:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/training/course-descriptions/certified-professional

I don't know if this will be updated for 12.04 or not. I heard there
used to be a professional certification for Ubuntu Server, but that
doesn't appear to exist anymore. I f I find out any more, I'll pass it
along.

You're right, to my knowledge, there is no accessible installer for the
Ubuntu Server CD. I'm guessing it isn't considered a priority since
Ubuntu Server is probably installed primarily over the network or inside
a cloud instance.

I don't know, but does RHEL use the Anaconda installer like Fedora does?

BTW, didn't we just exchange some messages on which was the most popular
Linux server distribution? I'm pretty sure I said it was RHEL, and you
corrected me by telling me it was Ubuntu Server. Nothing would make me
happier to hear that, but I suspect it depends on what metrics you're
using. Just curious, I'm not trying to make a point.
