That is all so very nice Now does someone have a link for free Linux Cbts After all if one can expect to find anything free Wouldn't tit be in an open source forum ;-) Also BTW: supposing a generous member has already purchased such material does LUG have an ftp server from where members could download (and upload) useful stuff ??

PDFs are great, but the most comfortable are the multimedia tutorial videos. Being a person who believes that one's time is too valuable to repeat another person's mistakes, I feel that the availability of such content would help train and improve more people's Linux and general administration and usability skills. I found http://www.linuxcbt.com that provides various training videos, that are product or service specific. I know that EACOSS and a few other centres provide some level of training. However the more accessible and usable forms of training like multimedia videos would be better suited to the students who have access to the Internet and "free" institutional computers. EACOSS and the rest can use and incorporate multimedia content in their courses, to provide a more "practical" and training oriented product. Any more related content sources would be welcome.

The one with a collection of different services costs $2,190! I do not know about those students having access to the means to purchase electronically and even then being able to spend that $100 per service that they need to learn. The people who need the knowledge most are probably going to have to keep looking through those PDFs. At the same time, however, I believe that multimedia content is a form of enhancement (visual aids) to education but it cannot replace the actual text which provides the core of the concepts that one needs to learn. So either depending on which student one is, they can study the material in detail and learn use the videos to visualise or vice versa... get a quick start with visual material and then learn the core..

Good educational centers should have map like this (at least) Theory--------->Visualisation-------->Handson trainning------->Anything At least if I remember well, the instructor did some talking as usual, then did some illustrations on the CLI + GUI. Then bah... we went hands-on.Well, we didn't ask for the videos but I know if we did we would have got them. Many free programs do Desktop recording for such work like the one sold at http://www.linuxcbt.com I use istanbul (http://live.hujjat.org/istanbul-0.1.1.tar.bz2) that comes with Core 5 on my box, good for sreencasts though in ogg format and many others.As you know seeing is believing and unlike the computer,the brain retrieves images faster than info stored as text/thoery!If you need to have speed at info retrieval from your brain use visuals.If NASA and the US-Airforce use the same process why not Linux training? Thanks for bringing this up!
