Comments on: SELinux training http://securityblog.org/brindle/2007/04/19/selinux-training/ The ramblings of security neophyte Joshua Brindle Sat, 17 May 2008 03:26:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Philantrop http://securityblog.org/brindle/2007/04/19/selinux-training/#comment-6810 Philantrop Thu, 19 Apr 2007 15:07:11 +0000 http://securityblog.org/brindle/2007/04/19/selinux-training/#comment-6810 While the suggested price is very reasonable, I don't think an 8 hour video is realistic. A "live performance" includes human interaction and is therefore much easier to bear than 8 hours of technical stuff - no matter how good it might be and even though nobody would watch it in one session anyway. The pure number would, IMHO, scare people away. Apart from that, in my experience a good training class (which often includes hands-on parts) does much more good than any video or other non-interactive media. And, again, the price for the full course is not bad either so if I were anywhere near you, I would always book the real course - as would my employer(s). An online seminar sounds very good, though.

My employer does not use selinux and so I wouldnt be able to use the class. I would like the info for personal growth in the future however. Especially as I am a gentoo developer.
