Intro LINUX Course in CT
Low-Cost Evening Course offers Hands-On Instructor-Led
Environment
WHY?: Many good-paying jobs in computer-support these days require
knowledge of some version of the UNIX operating
system. LINUX is a unix-like operating system. It is growing rapidly
in popularity, and it is available almost �free. The ACSS course will
give you a basic working knowledge of LINUX. From there, you can
easily move on to the study of other UNIX versions,
and powerful UNIX utilities for network and Internet servers.

1/3 the rate of the commercially available Internet

all material you need to have a good working knowledge of

Eridani Star System announces:
Eridani CDROM with Red Hat 5.2 -----> UKP 3.50 each.
Linux-Mandrake 5.3 (Festen) ------> UKP 3.50 each.
These CDROM include an El Torito boot record, which, on supported hardware
make them bootable.
The Red Hat CDs are made to order, and as such, will have all the Red Hat
updates to that time on the CD. Rather than having them in a separate
updates directory, we have opted to make them part of the install, so you
automatically have an up-to-date Linux system.
A large amount of extra software has been included on the CDROM, including
Corel WordPerfect (downloadable version) and Sun JDK 1.1.7 (for the
programmers out there).
A second CD is available, which contains all the source code. Red Hat
Linux is just too big now to have all the binaries and sources on the one
CD. This CD is also available, also for UKP 3.50.
For more information, and how to order, please visit the web page at:
http://www.amush.cx/linux/
International orders accepted, but due to the cost of bank charges and
international mail, the prices will be slightly higher.
Sorry, we cannot accept credit cards. Cash (Pounds sterling preferred!)
and cheques drawn on a UK bank only. There is a UKP 1.50 charge for
postage and packaging within the UK, variable for international customers.
