Advertised as (computer) 'industry experience expected', this is currently being misinterpreted as 'Linux experience expected' - a subtle but critical difference for newbies to best learn.

I had a quick squiz at the information avonmore provides and I was under the impression that the course was aimed at someone who has had around 6 months linux experience - so presumably confident in using the system, but probably needing some serious pointers in system administration. I'll have to have a second look, it does sound like they may be confusing prospective students who may not have that experience. Time to submit a bug report maybe.. And you're right, gurus dont tend to teach in the usual sense, they provide pointers for you to learn yourself. Its the linux way, RTFM and search the web ;) Sascha
