Hi All, I'm not sure how newsworthy this is, but since the question of basic Linux training courses that crops up from time to time I thought I'd pass it on.
It appears that the Open University are now offering a module that explores the basics of Linux system administration, and that can provide students with LPIC-1 certification as well as counting towards an OU degree. The article: http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/149152/index.html The course: http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/course/t155.htm On the face of it that looks like pretty good value. I haven't got any experience of this particular course, but having studied other OU computing courses can vouch for the quality of the training materials and instruction. The LPIC aspect of it is not straightforward, i.e. completion of the course doesn't appear to automatically provide you with certification, it seems it is something you need to optionally request through CompTIA* who are working with the OU to provide the training.
