Subject: [Moodle] Free online Linux 101 course

Hey People :)

Just stumbled across this free online course being offered by the HP
learning center - and thought some of you might be interested in it!

Linux 101: a beginner's guide
This class is a primer for those who are unfamiliar with the Linux
operating system. You'll learn the concepts and issues around Linux, as
well as how to accomplish basic software installation, desktop use and
administration tasks. The Linux distribution used throughout the class
for purposes of illustration and example is Debian 5 (aka Lenny).

What you'll learn:
      * Understand Linux and Linux distributions
      * Install Linux
      * Become familiar with the Linux desktop and tools, and
        productivity applications such as OpenOffice.org
      * Understand simple system administration, such as managing user
        accounts and filesystem permissions
      * Set up a simple network
      * Update the system and add software packages

You can check out the first lesson without having to register - and
registration is free if you decide to take the whole course.

cheers
Donna
