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:

LBook: An Introductory Guide to Linux Basics

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.
Here are the Linux
Tutorials from Linuxbasics.org,

Charles M. Kozierok has edited and adapted the following comprehensive Guide
to A+ Core Hardware. This free training guide was written
for the CompTIA
A+ Core Hardware Technology Certification Exam 220-231. Each chapter
provides a great set of practice questions and answers with
explanations.
In
September 2006, the CompTIA A+ (A Plus) test was updated, and now the
candidate takes the CompTIA A+ Essentials test along with one
of the four other tests (220-602, 220-603, 220-604, 220-605). However,
at this time A+ candidates are offered a choice between the 2003 and
2006 versions of the exam, and in 2007 it is likely the 2003 A+ track
will be discontinued.
