Freedom Technology Center To Open With Classes on Email
Security, Linux Administration


The Freedom Technology Center, a new IT training facility in
Mountain View, California, will open on Saturday, November
22nd with a free one-day class on email security, entitled
"Protecting email users from viruses, spam, and other threats."

The second and third scheduled classes at the center cover the
material for the Linux Professional Institute's LPI 101 and
LPI 102 certification exams.  The LPI 101 class is scheduled
for December 1-5, and the LPI 102 class is scheduled for
December 8-12.

Enrollment is strictly limited to 12 students per class.

The instructor for all three classes, Jim Dennis, has conducted
Linux training for firms including Motorola, SGI, Cadence,
Wells Fargo, and DTT.  He is the co-author of Linux System
Administration (New Riders, 2000) and numerous magazine and
web articles.

"If you spend one day covering the latest software and
filtering approaches, you can really lock out the majority
of spam and virus threats," Dennis said.  "I cover what works
and what doesn't."

The class is intended for full or part-time system
administrators who are responsible for the function and security
of email for a small company or group.

Whether or not you use an Open Source mail server internally,
the filtering techniques covered can keep users safe from
email-based attacks, and it is possible to do so without
upgrading or reconfiguring the existing mail server or mail
clients.

In the LPI classes beginning in December, the topics to be
covered include everything from installation and command
basics to network administration, security, and advanced
troubleshooting.

The Freedom Technology Center is located in the heart of
downtown Mountain View, California, and is convenient to
Caltrain, VTA light rail, and US 101.
