[LUNI] New to Linux

[Tim Wielgos]

Fred--

Welcome to the fold!

If you're just learning for you, and you don't care about professional 
certifications, I would go to your local community college and see what 
kind of Unix/Linux classes they offer.  I took two quarters of Unix at 
COD, and found it extremely helpful -- plus, it introduced me to Linux 
around 10 years ago :)

If you want professional certification to do this for a living, you 
could try the RHCT and RHCE courses offered by Red Hat.  Not as 
comprehensive as the community college route, but more recognized by 
industry.

Good luck!
Tim
