Hi Geoffrey Is there any indication of which TAFE colleges/institutes will (eventually) offer this course? Do you think we'll see it run outside of Granville, for those of us that live a little further afield.

You do it for welding, you do it for bricklaying. CPR etc. Forgotten what. The S of A is based around the subject "Running Linux" which is aimed at computer literate folks who may do some Linux or are just begining. This is the course I've been teaching for years. Real beginners will need to preceed this subject with "Linux Intro" I'm inventing this subject now.
