[TriLUG] first post: looking for basic Linux course

[Len Boyle]

Two thoughts. 

I know a few FreeBSD folks and they have been trying out the  zfs filesystem ported from opensolaris.  Something you might   want to look at.

I believe that html5 seems to be the hot topic of late.

I don't mean to nit-pick, but was curious if you mispoke, or if BSD, by virtue of being something (older, simpler, less popular, a cleaner design,
etc.) actually tought you something about Linux. I've been meaning to do a BSD install for some time, but keep getting distracted. I guess I need a specific project for it, but all the projects I think of I can just implement on top of my GNU/Linux systems. Maybe I should get into filesystems and look at NetBSD and puffs.

Also, someone suggested working on a Free flash implementation. Is Flash that interesting of a technology compared to in-browser JavaScript and Java applets?
