I know of a class in Mission Viejo, California at Saddleback College that uses RH as its base OS, but when I was in it I used FBSD for everything and the instructor not only did not mind, I think he preferred it but was too tight-lipped to say so. He did let slip (subtely) his displeasure at having to use RH. Not technically BSD training, *nix was taught at a level designed to let students flow from one flavor to another, with emphasis on vi, different shells, basic scripting (perl/shell/sed/awk), security, and generic installs and configs (./configure....config files...). All in all a very helpful class at almost no cost. http://www1.socccd.cc.ca.us/eservices/ClassDetail.asp?sectionID=22395&termid=20043 As a side note, can anyone post or link to a breakdown of costs for teaching a class? They all seem to cost around $1500+/week and I'm not sure why. No accusation here, I just can't imagine what costs that much, especially if the teacher volunteers or doesn't want much money. Do small conference rooms really cost that much? --- "Jeremy C.
