I feel the same way thats a heck of a chunk of change you would be
spending... A book is the easiest way to learn because if you need to touch
up it's right there waiting. One of the best books I have seen for Linux
Unix Windows etc.. Are the for dummies books. Linux for dummies runs about
20$ and starts out very basic and picks up to speed at a easy learning pace.
It has alot of info for configurations and errors. And even a bit of stuff
your not supposed to know also. Just look at any book store for a big yellow
book called Linux for dummies.
