There are lots of documents and manuals available on the Internet but a
hands on tutorial with a teacher is sometimes much better. A simple
example: I wanted to set up an FTP server on one of the machines on our
LAN. A friend advised against this and suggested putting winscp on the
windows machines, and using fish on the Linux machines. Something that I
would not have looked up on Google.
I have also been looking for a couple of Linux courses but found the
cost to be prohibitive; they look as if they were geared at (rich)
companies willing to pay for their employees to attend.
Alessio Porcacchia suggested that he would be willing to give a class or
two. I could imagine ILUG members meeting let's say once a month with
one member giving a lecture/class. The venue would be a problem, but if
people could bring their own laptops it doesn't need to be anywhere fancy.
Anyone else think this is feasible?
