Actually how do you get to these anyways?  I might be able to get the customer to pay for one or two of them.

My current employer is so large I couldn’t get anyone’s help in getting this class.  I e-mailed my former employer and they had me hooked up within 2 minutes (nice to have good relationships with former employers).  Since the exam costs $150, that makes the class only $175.  I am taking the online class as we type.  I had issues with Lab 1 and it took Citrix or Accenture 73 hours to fix it.  Told SC, so much for his “Ten to Xen”!

If you are in the US, maybe I could get my former employer to get you this class also.

Or a decent guide for newbies for XenServer?  No the admin guide is not the answer I'm looking for :)
