I remember the thread well and I am impressed that the best of and, k-12 classes made it into the catalog. What are the chances of the non distro specific intermeadiate linux users class or a beggining sys admin class making it to the schedules in the next year or so?Last May we had a thread on eug-lug regarding Linux classes at LCC. Beaker had a great suggestion which has finally become reality:

I've always thought a "Best of Open Source" series would be of interest to
people. Many apps such as OpenOffice, The Gimp, and Mozilla run on several
operating systems - not _just_ Linux :J - and may have broader appeal then
Linux-only apps.
It's taken months to get it approved, but I'll be teaching a "best of Open Source" class at LCC Winter term. The descriptions of all of my linux classes are here:

and instructions on how to register are here:

(hint: the website isn't easy. Best way to register is by phone)
Note, if you will, that I'll also be teaching an "Introduction to Linux"
class for newbies at LCC now. It will eventually be geared to people whose
workplace has switched to Linux... which should counter the M$ FUD that
goes, "where will you get trained people to use Linux in your workplace?" But there might be some nonprofits out there who are already using it, and
this class will help these folks quickly get up to speed.
Of course, the Linux system administration class (formerly Red Hat Linux System Administration) is also being offered. We plan to expand it to two classes, "basic" and a "second-level" class, starting Spring term. I also plan to have earned my RHCE, and possibly a couple of LPI certs, by then.
Finally, we're also offering a special Linux sysadmin class for the folks at K12s who are in charge of keeping their computers running.
Please spread the word.
