[GLLUG] Where can I get the best Linux training?

[Ross S.]

I still recommend certification and experience as
stated before, but if you really want a class, here is
one I found in the last couple of minutes:

LCC (Lansing Community College)

CISB 234     Linux/UNIX Operating System  3 credits   
   
Prerequisite: CISB 130 2.0 minimum and CISB 133 2.0
minimum
This course provides hands-on training in the Linux
operating system. Students will learn to install, use,
and administer a Linux operating system including
shell programming and user account management.
Application software for Linux operating systems will
also be discussed. This course includes the XK0-001
CompTIA Linux+ exam that leads to Comp TIA Linux+
certification. (F, Sp)

Here are the Prerequisite courses you must have for
the class:

CISB 130     Data Communications          3 credits
Prerequisite: None
Recommended: CISB 100 and (CISB 114 or CISB 119 or
CISB 120)
The course provides a comprehensive introduction to
data communications systems, how they are integrated,
and differences between the various networks and
network carriers. Students learn terminology and major
protocols to a level adequate to discuss data
communication topics with other professionals. This
course includes the N10-002 CompTIA Network+ exam that
leads to Comp TIA Network+ certification. (F, Sp, Su)

CISB 133     Operating Systems          3 credits
Prerequisite: None
Recommended: CISB 100 and (CISB 114 or CISB 119 or
CISB 120)
The course covers what operating systems are, why they
exist, what they do, and how they interface with the
operators and programmers.  Main memory management and
processor scheduling are studied along with device and
file management.  Case studies of current operating
systems are studied. (F, Sp)
