The corporate mind of the Schooling Industry has been bought, in various ways, by you know who. _Everything_ you need to know about Linux is freely available on the WWW, Thus it's not possible for the trainers of the world to charge money to learn. Thus no Linux training. Certainly none for a literate, intelligent, and enquiring mind. It's simply not needed. > Does anyone know > if it possible to get a Linux networking course or who to contact? Start off with the Network Administrators Guide by Olaf Kirch. The author is not a speaker of English as his Mother Tongue, so he's actually very readable. :-\ Sad, but true. http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/zdv/projekte/linux/books/nag/nag.html An earlier edition of the work is published by O'Reilly and was/is available in printed form from Amazon, or possibly locally. Note that the printed edition is rather outdated now. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell.
