| 232816 | 2004-04-29 05:59:00 | Jonathan said that he is trying secure a computer lab during the next AUT holidays, and to check his site for updates. From his earlier emails he said he needed at least 15 people. How hard can it be to find another 11 newbies in Auckland ;) |

| 232817 | 2004-04-29 06:14:00 | I have books and manuals, (and links to great websites) including a 650 page PDF of Rute, but you can't learn everything from books, right? ;) Perhaps I should ditch Mandrake 10, and install an earlier distro that comes with a linux text... |

| 232818 | 2004-04-29 06:19:00 | You should be able to find the Red Hat manuals on line ... The Getting Started one is quite good, as I recall. There is the LDP (Linux Documentation Project) which has a selection of free manuals. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 232819 | 2004-04-29 11:02:00 | Hi Bachelor, This probably isn't the IBM site that whetu was talking about, but is an interesting site in it's own right. developerWorks (www-136.ibm.com) You could also pop along to your nearest LUG (http://www.linux.net.nz)where you can often find people of all levels. HTH :) |

No I emailed him yesterday (29/4) and he replied within half an hour :) There doesn't appear to be any updates on his site yet about a new course. Any ideas on how to find enough people to ensure the course goes ahead? Does PressF1 allow/tolerate "advertising" such a course? |

| 232823 | 2004-04-30 04:07:00 | It cost me $30 the last time I attended his course . He gives you a removable hard disk, Mandrake CDs for the training . Then you follow the install step by step with everyone in the class . Sometimes it can be a bit slow when others need a bit more holding of hands . Then a quick lunch break and continue . At the end of the class, you get some Q&A with him on generic Linux issues . You get the option to purchase the Mandrake CDs (think it was $10) . Ended just before 3pm on a Saturday which gave me some time to rush home and enjoy the rest of the weekend . Since then I've set up an Intranet web server at the office running Mandrake 9 . 1, Apache, mySQL, PHP and XOOPS . A year ago I was a real Linux newbie . . . now I can confidently install and configure it . My next challenge is understanding and configuring Samba . |
