Good Afternoon dbarrow, you are terriffic, thanks for that, now I might finally learn something about Linux!! LOL!!
Although I feel if I had a "brain drain plug" it might help retain something.
I can't remember a simple phone number to walk across the room!!

That site originator certainly seems like a decent chap, I do feel he is also benefitting from his generosity by people retaining him for further contractual work.

I think this is the way of the future, these kinds of people do well and are well received as valuable assets in a technical community, especially if tutoring or short courses are needed.
I am impressed, there should be more intelligent people like this.

Thankyou,

Cheers, qldit.

Gee, a need for classes for Linux. I don't recall ever having a need to take a class to use Windows successfully. :-)

evidently you haven't heard of:

You may not need to take a class to use Windows, but a lot of people take Windows classes. Same with Linux.

Good Evening jcampi, actually I have regularly run courses for windows (95, 98 and XP) and those classes have always been fully attended.

The beginners tuition I have been giving for Linux (specific system) basic operation have also been pretty well received.

I have stopped windows courses because I don't feel there is any point in flogging a "dead horse"!
I haven't even bothered getting involved with Vista, there is virtually no interest.

There is so much interest developing in Linux systems it is quite remarkable.

But to each his own!

Cheers, qldit.

Good for you, John! You are blessed. But not all of us are endowed with
a natural aptitude and affinity for the mechanics of cyberspace .. :(

I took a W98 class, bought a W98 Dummy book, bought W98 Video
Professor disks.....but I actually learned from my "mistakes" ..... and help
and advice from the old RBL BBS posse (some of whom are now KH
members and moderators) .. :hail: .. :kiss:

Maybe I'd find Linux easier to learn today because of the trials and
tribulations I had with W98. Just like remarriage, it gets easier the second
time around .....unless of course you end up divorced again or struggling
with Vista before its SP2 .. ;)

I never meant my message to imply I'm blessed. My point is that Windows graphical user interface it kind of intuitive and can be learned just by clicking and experiencing the OS. Most people I know don't seem to have a need for a class on Windows. Can the same be said of Linux?

[Tortanick]

Definitely, for someone who never tried a computer before a presetup Linux will be easier to use and maintain than a presetup Windows. For someone who knows Windows it will naturally be far easier to stick to Windows.

No viruses, less cruft forming and high stability are the best advantages over windows, the applications are about the same as their windows counterparts.
