Learning Linux - kinda

Our department is pushing us to learn Linux. This is a great idea, and something we should have started doing years ago.

Unfortunately, the training center we are using to get us up to speed with Linux has no classes targeted to UNIX SysAdmins migrating to Linux. Nor will they let us skip the intro Linux class before taking the Linux SysAdmin classes. So here I sit, in a Linux class, with 15 years experience as a UNIX SysAdmin, and the teacher is talking about the ls, cd, and chmod commands. Oh well....

Once I finish this class, I can take the different Linux SysAdmin classes and start learning the things I really need to be a Linux SysAdmin.
