[TriLUG] RHCE tutor

[jonc]

I recommend you find a more local group that you can meet with for
hands-on discussion and hands-on demonstrations. I worked with an RHCE
group three years ago and we *really* learned the ins and outs of Red
Hat and Linux very well. It was a great experience - even for an old
Unix dinosaur like myself.

Trying to do it remotely would not have been nearly as much fun or as
enlightening.

Good Luck in gathering a group!
