Every Linux kernel is being developed by nearly 1,000 developers working for more than 100 different corporations. This is the foundation for the largest distributed software development project in the world.

Since 2005, the number of active kernel developers has tripled, reflecting the growing importance of Linux in the embedded systems, server, and desktop markets.

Between 70 and 95 percent of those developers are being paid for their work, dispelling the "hobbyist" myth present from the start of open source development.

More than 70 percent of total contributions to the kernel come from developers working at a range of companies including IBM, Intel, The Linux Foundation, MIPS Technology, MontaVista, Movial, NetApp, Novell and Red Hat. These companies, and many others, find that by improving the kernel they have a competitive edge in their markets.

An average of 3,621 lines of code are added to the kernel tree every day, and a new kernel is released approximately every 2.7 months.

The kernel, since 2005, has been growing at a steady state of 10 percent per year.

LinuxCBT.com provides comprehensive and realistic business-critical Computer Based Training (CBT) solutions for those responsible for and/or considering the deployment of GNU/Linux-based solutions in a typical heterogeneous (Linux/Unix/Windows/Cisco/etc.) environment. Our approach is unique because it does not emphasize solely certification or canned curricula from Linux certification vendors. Instead, we have created the LinuxCBT | UnixCBT Suite of products in order to address primarily diverse business requirements, and secondarily certification objectives.

Historically, certification objectives have not been aligned with business needs. The rapid shakeout of the post-dotcom economy is evidence of that trend. However, training institutions and other CBT providers continue to promote the development of expertise that is irrelevant to today's demanding business environment, resulting in ill-prepared IT candidates.

Our approach is contrary to the industry's trend of selling certification and dreams of lucrative careers because we are cognizant of what serious IT hiring managers and their respective companies demand: knowledgeable IT personnel who have, and continue to hone their Linux/Unix/Open Source skills to become more efficient and creative engineers.

Additionally, Linux certification is made more valuable when the concepts and detailed lessons presented in the LinuxCBT Suite of products are thoroughly absorbed and understood.

LinuxCBT has exceeded my expectation in Computer Based Training. It provides an excellent, flexible approach for my staff to broaden their technical skills. It provides an opportunity to work at your own pace; an anywhere, anyplace learning environment. More importantly, key Linux concepts are reinforced throughout the course.
The ROI is fantastic!

Weidlinger Associates began embracing Linux in 1999 because we knew Linux was the future of the back-end due to its price/performance ROI. We have sent our engineers to training and have purchased other computer training products. However, LinuxCBT has been the most comprehensive and realistic. It covers many technologies that other computer training products avoid. LinuxCBT even covers the full installation of RedHat 9 in many different ways.

We estimate that with the typical number of breaks in a traditional classroom setting, LinuxCBT Classic edition is approximately 2 weeks of training. Our engineers are now able to deploy Linux-based solutions with confidence. LinuxCBT serves as an excellent reference.

Firstly, I would like to say that I love the videos. I hope that LinuxCBT puts together more training material on other forms of Linux/Unix (preferably Sun Solaris).

As a Windows OS user I know how intimidating Linux can be. But now, with the LinuxCBT products that fear can be abolished. Your way of explaining the material is second to none. I'll tell you the truth, I own just about every other Linux/Unix training out in the market right now. They're not that informative, they don't teach you any real world tricks, not to mention they're much shorter in length and the prices are steep.

The others are more like a dry chicken breast that sat in the refrigerator for a week. LinuxCBT is more like a juicy steak right off the grill!

Dean has genuine Linux experience and it shows brilliantly! I'm delighted to see that your syllabus was well thought out.

Great job. I know the best is sure to come.
