Hi Chris,

Rackspace has a free CloudU training and certification program (
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/cloudu/), which should provide
you with a solid grounding in the area of cloud computing.

And to learn openstack, in addition to what John said, there are many
aspects of OpenStack, such as OpenStack operations, business opportunities
etc. Getting involved in the community is a good start.

Speaking of using laptop, I just installed RDO from Redhat (
openstack.redhat.com) in a xen vm, and it worked like a charm :-)


Cheers,

Heling
