The Linux Foundation announces

2014 was a big year for us in training. We launched a new ground-breaking certification program and released our wildly successful "Introduction to Linux" edX MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), which had roughly 300,000 enrollees.

To build on that, we're excited to announce our first-ever self-paced course that builds on the MOOC and prepares candidates for the LFCS (Linux Foundation Certified SysAdmin) exam: "Essentials of System Administration."

[...]we've included a discounted LFCS exam with the course fee. [...] for a limited time, we're offering this course and certification bundle for $499--an additional $100 discount.

    Aside from the exam fee included in the 500 dollar charge, why would someone take this instead of an evening class at their local community college? The one near me has Linux classes for about 600 per class each semester.

    Not everyone in the world lives in a place with a local community college offering Linux courses?
