*BSD training vendors




My "day job" uses *BSD variants in production (400 or more machines) 
and therefore we have some people here who are not hardcore 
developers but who would like to get to know *BSD systems 
administration, fundamentals, and resource tuning a bit better.   Our 
NOC, applications developers, and others need to know their way 
around the system but don't necessarily need a training course on 
kernel optimization (no, we're not sending them all to BSDCON this 
year. :)  Our hardcore developers don't have the time to do such 
teaching, and usually (no offense intended) don't teach particularly 
well, anyway.

If anyone knows of any vendors who have _good_ courses (not "BSD for 
Dummies", please) and who are willing to send trainers afield (DC 
Metro area) then please drop me a URL.  I'll forward to our training 
coordinator.

I'm looking for specifically BSD training, not generalized UNIX 
training.  I.E.: The training material should all have been written 
from scratch using "ps -aux" instead of "ps -ef" as the example. 
Granted, many things are similar, but they're not the same (as most 
of you on this list are well aware.)

I've RTFM'ed, and used every search engine I can think of to try to 
find vendors with these specific requirements; no luck.  I think this 
is a startlingly small number of training vendors I'm hunting after, 
which worries me...
