LinuxBasics.org, The community that helps people to run Linux, offers their second free Linux class, An Introduction to Linux Basics.

This course is designed to give a foundation of understanding of Linux to a beginner who wants to know a little more about the system. More advanced Linux users will find an opportunity to dig deeper into some areas they always wanted to know more about or discover gaps in their knowledge that they didn’t know existed.

The study guide used will be LBook, an edited version of Introduction to Linux: A Hands on Guide by Machtelt Garrels which is distributed under the GNU FDL. This is the fourth beginner’s course done by LinuxBasics.org and the third time using this book, which has proven very useful. Through its free license, participants were able to change the textbook themselves to clarify or to emphasize certain points.

You will need to join the LBo forum in order to participate in the course http://linuxbasics.org/forum.

Signup is set to begin on November 1st, 2007 and the class itself one week later. You can also join after the November 8th starting date.
