Subject: [linux-elitists] ANNOUNCEMENT::Free Software Institute Begins - Linux 1 Class [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2002 08:03:54 -0500 From: Ruben Safir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Following up on last nights wildly successful first Free Software Institute Meeting, the Chair of the Institute, and myself, wish to introduce the first class of our cradle to grave Linux/Free Software program of NYLXS (see http://www.nylxs.com). Paul will followup on the complete program, but I would like to announce the first class. This is a very exciting begining. The first class is called Intoduction to Linux. The cost is $200 plus you can purchase a computer through our network of hardware vendors to participate in the class. This class goes through the installation process of Linux on standard hardware and ONLY hardware which we order through our vendor will be allowed to be used in the classroom. This prevents us from turning into installfest maddness. People who spring for the machine (for less than $500) will beable to use it in further classes as we learn to build a powerful system. The class will be 5 classes in 5 weeks from Monday Febuary 4th until March 4th. All students MUST pay in advanced. The time of the class will be 7PM - 10:30PM We might push later is required. We will also meet on line for instruction on an agreed upon weeksly time to fill out about 6 hours a weeks instruction. We will hold class at Rosenswieg and Maffia at 845 3rd Avenue in Midtown Manhattan A maximum of 20 students can be accomedated. Checks are made payable to NYLXS. Final exams of this class is the installation of a system with basic setup. ______________________________________________________ This is the Syllabus for the first class: Introduction to Linux Installation Boot Media, Kernels Hard Drives Partitions fdisk, type 82, 83 etc swap partitions, mkswap, swapon, partition types, patition tables, /boot /home /usr /var file systems, ext2, reiser, ext3, mke2fs Intro to the Shell Kernel ->getty->login-shell /etc/passwd adduser /etc/group Introduction to VI VI Commands (and vim) Command mode i=>insert o=>open a=>append dd=>delete yy=>yank p=> paste jklim edit more Typing to the screen <ESC> execute mode :w write :q quit /search :wq! at all costs 1,$s/old/new/g - global substitutions Basic Shell Commands ls cp mv ls glob* cat ps pstree top Files, ownershop, group permission Setting up X XF86Setup Knowing your hardware Network Setup Basics ipaddress host name domain name gateway dns entries adding users on different systems ifconfig modules - lsmod, modprobe, depmode This class will be followed up by the Unix 1 Class. -- __________________________ Brooklyn Linux Solutions __________________________ http://www.mrbrklyn.com - Consulting http://www.brooklynonline.com - For the love of Brooklyn http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www.nyfairuse.org - The foundation of Democracy http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive or stories and articles from around the net http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/mp3/hooked.mp3 - Spring is coming.... http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/downtown.html - See the New Downtown Brooklyn.... 1-718-382-5752 ____________________________ New Yorker Linux Users Scene Fair Use - because it's either fair use or useless.... -- __________________________ Brooklyn Linux Solutions __________________________ http://www.mrbrklyn.com - Consulting http://www.brooklynonline.com - For the love of Brooklyn http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software http://www.nyfairuse.org - The foundation of Democracy http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/resources - Unpublished Archive or stories and articles from around the net http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/mp3/hooked.mp3 - Spring is coming.... http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/downtown.html - See the New Downtown Brooklyn.... 1-718-382-5752 ## "Moving Forward..."
