Because:
o Open source works better than closed source; and
o The lessons were developed partly using ksh rather than BASH; and
o It is entirely possible that there could be undetected errors; and
o Additional contributors will make the lessons better, I hereby
declare:
...that everyone is invited and welcome to test the lessons on their Linux
installations, particularly using the BASH shell, and to send me any
corrections, suggestions for improvements, suggestions for new lessons, or
even developed lessons in similar format.
Maybe we can make something worthwhile out of these sessions for all new
Linux users. (No, I'm not going to go to all the trouble of issuing a GPL
at this time... grin...)
Note: I'm not experienced enough (by a few lightyears!) to offer similar
material on system admin issues. Well, there is the Linux Documentation
Project. But that is more task-oriented than training-oriented.
There may already be worthwhile efforts of this sort somewhere in
cyberspace, which could provide cross-fertilization. Anyone know of any?
best wishes,
richard myers
