Subject: [LIH] linux courses
hi everybody out there at ilug ,
As linux is getting more and more popular,linux courses are croping
up here and there
but how good are these courses .An average user who
joins these courses to improve his skills and learn more sometimes ends up
in just enhancing
the pockets of these course conductors.I am writing all these because i
happened to do
a SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION course offered by an NIIT center.Eventhough the
courseware contains chapters
about setting up a webserver ,nfs,dns e.t.c most of these were like doing
kernal hacking for the instructor
who was taking classes for me
not to mention about how much a student will get from such a training in
which the instructor
will sit with a book and try out all the stuff in the book and if he manage
to succeed in
any of the task he will be explainig what he understood from all those
experiments he has done
to setup a webserver or what ever he was trying to do(may have ended up in
setting up some thing else).
Even if it is possible to learn linux with a book and a linux box ,to learn
what linux can do in a networking
environment I believe it is necessary to work in a networked environment
and is desirable to have
somebody trained in linux to help you.For a student who has limitted
resources in his college
have to rely on these type of institutes which are just seeing linux as
another resource to fill
their pocket resulting in linux system administration certificate holders
who dont even know how to mount
a nfs or to setp a dns server.oh please don't ask about firewalling
,remotebooting and all those stuff these words
sounds alien to me.
hope this will help those who are planning to do
some linux course from falling
into the pitfalls of educ@tiobn Buisness.
#Don't go for a course because the course is offered by a well known
institute.
may be the course is good bu your local fanchisee may not have trained
staff to take this courses but still want to offer these course
just for money.
In my case the institute was a wellknown institute but the instructor
himself have old me that he is trying out all
these things for the first time in hs life,he was seeing the course ware for
the first time on the third day or so
Even the administrative authorties were not bothered about how the course
was going on .(I had reported this to one of the
officials who just laughed at it and was not even ready to look ino the
matter .
