Dennis,<div><br></div><div>The course Ryan mentioned is a great starting place. After your done with that, if you want to dive into other Linux related topics, I've been hearing good things about Linux Academy [<a href="https://linuxacademy.com/">https://linuxacademy.com/</a>]. It might be worth your time to check out what courses they offer. It's not free, but depending on what kind of content you are looking for, it may be worth the cost.<br><br>On Thu, Aug 14, 2014 at 1:33 PM, Ryan Dunlop <ryan.c.dunlop@gmail.com> wrote:<br>

understanding of Linux. We have a data acquisition system at work that
runs on Linux and I would like to understand file/directory structures,
editing, scripting etc. I have no prior UNIX/Linux experience. Does the
TCLUG ever put on training? I see that you have an installfest in
October. I am considering bringing an older, rarely used PC to have it
loaded with Linux at your event.<br>
<br></div>In the mean time can you suggest any training or other
resources that will bring me up to speed quickly? I am an engineer by
vocation and have a good comfort level with computers. I occasionally do
some PLC programming. Just looking for the best way to get up to speed
and to do it economically.<br>
<br></div>Thanks in advance for any advice you may offer,<br></div>Dennis<br></div>
