[TriLUG] tar help?==> Basic Linux class

[Grant Generaux]

Like Mr. Brown, I have been dappling around in the Linux world for some
time, but have been a bit spoiled by the GUI side of things and therefore
only have a superficial knowledge of the command line.  I would be
interested if something like this was offered in the future.
