I know there is an advantage to Linux classes, in terms of having

enough to warrant its cost.

That's because the subject matter is so huge.  I've been using *nix
since 1978, and I'm still learning new stuff every day.  (Or maybe I'm
just a slow learner. (-: )


Yeah, but most of the Linux classes are still trying to get your drive
partitioned, X11 working, and configuration for your mail server.  Maybe
with Ubuntu and the like, that'll change in time.

Heck, partitioning and X11 are the easy parts.  The parts I find
challenging are
1. sound
2. getting screensaver to reliably power the monitor down
3. mechanical cad software
