| 232806 | 2004-04-29 01:34:00 | Firstly, PressF1 is a great resource, and I'd like to thank everyone who responds to posts. You're awesome :x I would like to do some basic linux desktop training in Auckland, and despite googling AND following up the leads, there doesn't seem to be anything in the offing. Is anyone else looking for training? Am I looking in the wrong place? I am using mandrake 10 Official on a Dell GX110 Cheers |

| 232807 | 2004-04-29 02:08:00 | I went for a Linux newbie training by Jonathon Horsman at www.59uptime.com conducted at AUT in Auckland. It was so cheap (from memory it was approx $30 for the one day course) and at the end of the day I was able to confidently install Mandrake and configure it for my use. It's not really meant for people who already know how to install Linux. But if you wish you have a stepping stone to start learning Linux, this is a great course to take. His new website is now at http://www.horsman.co.nz. From memory Spherion also conduct Linux training but it is a self paced tutorial (paper based) training course. You are given a PC, CDs, the tutorial book with instructions and you go through it step by step. If you hit any problems or questions you then ask the instructors. |

Definately worth a look... IBM have a lot of resource material on their site about linux, I'll dig up a link later |

I emailed Jonathan a couple of months ago about his course, and the problem was that a) there wasn't enough interest, and b) he didn't have a spare Saturday. Good reasons, and probablywhy no one esle is running courses either! Thanks nzStan |

Definately worth a look... Thanks Whetu. Perhaps what I need to do is pay someone to show me how to set up a simple network, update the kernel, find rpm's, and answer newbie questions. I can't afford $120/hr though... |

| 232811 | 2004-04-29 04:34:00 | Well I think he need about 10 people to start a class. I've got three staff that I would love to send to the training. Plus you and if you can get another six in Auckland and I reckon you can get him to start another class. | nzStan (440) | ||

| 232813 | 2004-04-29 05:18:00 | that one paper would cost you $660 odd bucks IIRC.. if you're after linux certification then it's definately money well spent, and it does cover what you want to learn, however if you're just interested or curious, then the IBM series is the way to go | whetu (237) | ||
| 232814 | 2004-04-29 05:46:00 | It's a bit more than I want to spend at the moment. Do you have a link for the IBM series? I haven't found it yet. |

| 232815 | 2004-04-29 05:52:00 | There's always books. And libraries.:O Or even on-line books. "Rute" is very good. Any of the books published by O'Reilly are very well written and reliable. There's a "Linux Cookbook" on-line, too. There's a few links in FAQ80. ;-) |
