[TriLUG] first post: looking for basic Linux course

[Jym Williams Zavada]

Although it's not a course, I highly recommend the book "Running Linux" 
(http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596007607.do), the first edition is 
what I used to cut my teeth on for learning Linux ages ago.  That along with 
an earlier edition of "UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook" 
(http://www.amazon.com/Linux-System-Administration-Handbook-Edition/dp/0131480057) 
are the two invaluable books from which I learned system administration.
