Re: Excellent Linux Courses

I hate to make my second negative post in a row, but since you asked...

These courses were pretty good, but the goal is always to teach you
everything about Linux.  That is fine for me as a software engineer, but
for the typical user, it just convinces him that he needs to stick with
a simple system like Win95.

What we need is simple guides for what the typical user needs to know
just to get by.  Then after that you can have a section for those who
want to learn more.

Well, what we really need is an easier to use Linux.  At least the
installation is getting better.  If you can get past the video card
probing (which is another story), it comes up running a web server and
other services.  You used to have to know way too much to get that to
work.
