LinuxBasics.org offers a free online course, called An Introduction to Linux Basics, that introduces the student to the Linux operating system and how to productively use it. This course uses as its course book LBook: An Introductory Guide to Linux Basics, which is an edited version of “Introduction to Linux: A Hands on Guide” by Machtelt Garrels. The class started on October 19, however you can still  join the list, introduce yourself and start with the first week’s section. You will not be rushed to catch up to where others are. You are free to discuss wherever you are in the guide or other Linux-related matters on the list.

The class will spend more than a week on most chapters and anticipate the class running for about 6 months. A Schedule is posted. Class members will read the section for the week and do the exercises at the end of the chapters. Relevant questions and comments may then be discussed on the mailing list; so you will need to join that in order to participate. It is anticipated that questions will range from very basic to more advanced. Beginners need to ask the questions they have at their level (there are no stupid questions) and not be intimidated by more advanced questions from more advanced users who are learning too. More advanced users will have to “remember when”, as they once were introduced themselves to Linux, and hopefully contribute answers to basic questions as well as more advanced ones. Here is the online Linux book being used by this course:

LinuxBasics.org bills itself as "The online community that helps people to get Linux installed and running." If you are completely new to Linux, you might want to take a look at the LBox, a way to try out linux in a virtual environment, without danger for your running system. This site also offers tutorials and links to sites that offer information needed to install and use Linux. They also run a friendly mailing-list and an IRC-channel for questions you will have when you start using Linux. Their tour through LBo will show you the key-features of the site.

One of the neat educational activities on LinuxBasic.org is their free Linux course called An Introduction to Linux Basics for people who want to learn how to install and administer the basics of a Linux computer system. This class started on October 19, 2006, but you can still register and participate. Even advanced Linux users can join the class, as they will be able to dig deeper into some areas they always wanted to know more about. The course uses LBook: An Introductory Guide to Linux Basics as the couse book and study guide, which I have detailed in an earlier blog post today.

• Pre-Install - What you should know before installing Linux
