I'm not sure what the fuss is about.  I get it displaying correctly in
Konquerer and Mozilla (both Windows and Linux). Apart from the content being
plain I can't see an issue with the presentation.  OK its not well designed
and isn't eye catching but it seems to get the message across.

And they don't call themselves the Linux Professional Institute they just
deliver courses to allow you to take LPI examinations.  They do Microsoft
qualifications as well IIRC and they are not calling themselves Microsoft
either.  There is a big clue at the top of their web page as to what they do
call themselves!  ;0)

Not sure what problems those with issues about the website have.  Are there
overlapping sections?  (I've seen much worse (i.e. text overlapping more
text) from much larger and much more "professional" organisations that
probably have a dedicated web team or have even paid for the bad design.  I
would imagine this site was done in house.

Retro: Yes. Basic : Yes. Informative : Yes.  Loads quickly and doesn't need
plugins? : Yes.

Remember: Content over presentation.
