Your probably just better off installing what ever packages you want to
toy around and just play with them, most configuration files are
straight forward and well commented. There's also a couple of quick DOS
to UNIX guide's on the web, I've noticed that a lot of these linux
courses only cater for Redhat, hopefully after time you will move onto
something a little better :-) eg.. Debian

 

Oh..and if you get really stuck trying to make something work, there's
always webmin which is handy for getting a nice configuration interface
for pretty much every daemon/service on your system.

Hello everybody,

 

I've been running redhat for about 3 weeks and I am very impressed with
it.  But the problem is, I have no idea what I am doing.  I have a very
strong windows background, but when it comes to Linux I am absolutely
lost.

 

My question is:  Does anyone know where I can learn how to use linux?  I
want to learn how to do hardcore things like setting up apache, squid
and use scripts.  Are there courses available that will start off with
the basics and end with in the advanced stuff?  Or a combination of
courses?  I'm not very good when it comes to learning from a book or
from an online curriculum, instructor led would be best.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Alan Byrne
