Hi Hilton,

I tried this a few years ago, but no body wanted to help

We need to start a site which lists the companies in each Province, and city/town

I think Tectronic ( http://tectonic.co.za/ ) started this, but Tectonic is no more

I think there was someone else, but can't remember who

This would be ideal for situations like this

William

Hi Ken

My advice would be to ask the Linux User Group in Gauteng to draw up a
list of companies providing Linux support services in Gauteng. Then
ask the novice to send his CV to each one, stressing that he/she is
new but hard working and very eager to learn.

Cheers

hg.
