Well, Gilles, for the almost 3-years I've been in Linux, I've been hoping for
an online linux class. Ideally, I think either a live instructoor or sound
files. Reason, some of us have lots of punctuation disabled--and as well, if
it were recorded, we could stop, go try the excercize, and return to the
console with the class.
I suppose if I were to take a unix/linux class at a community college, they may
not teach the command-line or know anything about speech.
I must say from experience, that its as important to know what-and-why we are
typing a particular command, than just memorizing. In 94 I got my first PC,
but I knew nothing about DOS, so I was memorizing commands which a person would
send me on tape. For maybe 2-years, until 96, I finally was able to use those
commands in other circumstances
and unlike a windows envirnment, where generally an executeable file will
install a package, here in linux, you must know different options whether you
are useing tar or rpm, or others.
Also, having the likelyhood of unix having files or directories which are case
sensative, can be confusing, if you are used to other OS.
And also, would new folks want to try commandline linux, when each week
more-and-more sites are becoming javascript--and quite unuseable?
Lastly, as far as sources, what about the Linux CookBook?

Thanks for listening
