Re: [SLUG] Linux training

Another way of learning Linux is to come to Hardware Freedom Day at the
Raspberry-Pi users group.

It's not really structured, but you will get exposure and see Linux in
action.

I've been doing Linux for some years and I always learn something that I
didn't know from
somebody else. You'd be more than welcome.

Grant,

The best way IMO to lean Linux is by doing and self learning, with a bit of
a guiding hand along the way.
The road in has significantly softened with the advent of
cheap Linux machines that have a desktop environment and a thriving
community around them.

I suggest buying an RaspberryPi and take advantage of the 1000's of example
projects now on the web.

I am the organiser of the local user group : http://www.ozberrypi.org/
 everyone is helpful and
friendly; We can get you kicked off in the world of Linux! ;)

Cheers,
Stonie.
