Hey, I find this forum very very helpful, however i feel i could really learn if it were kinda in a classroom form or mayb online training. I was just wondering if any of u guys know of a site with info on this stuff. I guess id like it to b free but if not im just eager to fidn info on it. ive searched google but i cant seem to find anything with much info. o and btw i live in Washington if u know of some schools with linux information in the classes. Or if u know of some good books that would help plz tell me. ty for any info that u offer

IBM Developer Works has some great tutorials. You can view them online or download them in html or pdf formats.

Then there's The Linux Documentation Project
http://www.tldp.org
They have great guides and howto's

I don't think you'll find any free or online training. Most of it costs way too much.

There should be a Linux User's Group in your area. Most have meetings with interesting speakers.

i wouldn't think anything would be free, but supposedly community colleges offer classes in unix and the like. though i would think this would apply to cc's in big cities....as my little podunk town doesn't offer anything, otherwise i'd be signed up. so yeah, check your local cc's. http://www.sbctc.ctc.edu/
