[ILUG] Linux @ college

[cybersean3000 at yahoo.com]

You will be hard pressed to find official *nix curriculum in any college. 
 Computing resources in colleges and universities is a bit of an ivory 
tower, funded by grants and private money.  In order to get into the neat-
o stuff, you will probably have to work on a project of some sort.  Any 
administrator or instructor with any computing resources maintains them 
behind a medieval bastian structure.  It is a closely guarded secret 
world that even Masons, Knights Templar and NSA agents must undergo 
excruciating interviews and background checks.
 
Don't let that stop you, just go around the ivory towers and straight to 
the net.  Go to google, yahoo, altavista, and dog pile to search for 
tutorials, and any thing else you need.

Get an old pentium with a cd drive and modem, and you are ready for 
Linux!
