SCALE adds training classes

SCALE is proud to announce they've partnered with LOPSA, the League of 
Professional System Administrators (http://lopsa.org/), to create "SCALE 
University". SCALE University will conduct two half-day classes on 
Friday, February 8th at the So Cal Linux Expo.

The morning class will be "Open-Source Email Systems: One Approach to 
Spam Fighting", taught by Austin Godber, a platform engineer for 
JumpBox. It will cover in-depth setup details for RBLs, greylisting, 
adaptive firewalls, HELO restrictions, ClamAV, SpamAssassin, and 
end-user tools like whitelists and blacklists; plugins and tweaks to 
make these tools more effective; potential pitfalls to this (and other) 
approaches to filtering; and a host of other smaller items, like 
soliciting feedback from your clients, gathering statistics, and 
collating log information.

The afternoon tutorial is "Introduction to Virtualization on Linux with 
Xen"and will be conducted by Chris St. Pierre, a Unix system 
administrator at Nebraska Wesleyan University. This short course will 
provide an introduction to virtualization and as discussion of the 
following topics:

* Overview of the state of virtualization on Linux

Xen Hypervisor
