I took up Bluepoint's Total Linux course last 2002 and time and again, what I've learned are still relevant today. Why? The course was developed with security and performance in mind.

In less than two months, I was able to learn the best practices in setting up Linux as a server: installing Linux at a bare minimum; removing standard and unnecessary programs, files and folders; protecting critical files and folders; compiling server software and the Linux kernel from scratch with optimized settings and necessary features only; installing servers in a jailed environment; designing and implementing a paranoid firewall.

Aside from the hands on lecture, we also had the toughest practical and written exams.

This quality training helped me obtain a score of 100% in my RHCE exam last March 2005. The first person I thanked was of course, my instructor, Engels Antonio of Bluepoint Institute.

Bluepoint Christmas 2001
Sunday, Dec 9, 2001, 11:00 PM
Bluepoint held its first alumni homecoming today at the Kilosbayan House in Mandaluyong City.


The alumni homecoming cum Christmas party was attended by graduates of Bluepoint's Total Linux and Web Development courses. Aside from special numbers by Eddie Salonga and Bluepoint faculty, elections were also held for the alumni association's first set of officers:

President - Mike Calingasan (Total Linux 8)
Vice-President - Leyo Magpayo (Total Linux 10)
Secretary - Arvin San Andres (Total Linux 3)
Treasurer - Carlos Yu (Total Linux 11)

There was food a-plenty as everyone contributed to the potluck-style party. An Open Source-biased Win-Lose-Or-Draw game was led by Magie Antonio. Representatives from Total Linux 8 and 10 teamed up to win the cool Bluepoint mugs up for grabs. Engels Antonio announced the Bluepoint-Red Hat partnership in his closing remarks.
