You haven't been to the same LUG meetings as me. :-P

You know fully well that the m-word is _still_ almost unspeakable in 
some tech circles. "If you code it, they will come" and all that.

Heck, one could argue that LPI itself was born out of what Dan and I saw 
as the need to market Linux outside of the realm of coders and into the 
world of less sophisticated IT users (and arguably even 
less-sophisticated-than-that HR staff). I would consistently hear from 
the best programmers "I would never get certified and I would never work 
for a company that insisted on certification". So if the quality of the 
code is all that matters, why are you hanging around LPI? ;-)

PS: Ross, you didn't answer my question about the default desktop in 
SLED. Is it a secret?
