This course is designed to give a foundation of understanding of Linux to a beginner who wants to know a little more about the system. More advanced Linux users will find an opportunity to dig deeper into some areas they always wanted to know more about or discover gaps in their knowledge that they didn’t know existed.
The study guide used will be LBook, an edited version of Introduction to Linux: A Hands on Guide by Machtelt Garrels which is distributed under the GNU FDL. You will need to join the LBo mailing list in order to participate in the course (http://linuxbasics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/q na/).
The class is set to begin on October 19, 2006. You can also join after the October 19 starting date.
