Linux is a robust and secure operating system with a rich array of applications. SCALE is once again providing those who want to start using Linux an opportunity to learn how. SCALE will provide an installfest plus basic system administration class to help you hit the ground running with Linux. The class will be offered as an Installfest on Saturday, morning March 15, and a full day of training on Sunday 16th. Alternatively, if you already have either a Debian- or Redhat-based system that you plan on bringing, you may attend only the Sunday training class. The class fee is the same however.
Prerequisites: For a dedicated installation, a desktop or laptop system with at least 4 Gigabytes of RAM and 20 Gigabytes of disc space. If you plan to dual-boot your computer with both Windows and Linux ensure your computer has 20 Gigabytes of free, unformatted disc space available to Linux prior to attending the class. If you plan to install Linux in a VM, please have either VMware Player or Virtualbox, with at least 4 GB of ram and 20 Gigabytes of free, unformatted disc space allocated to it to it installed prior to arriving at the class.
Please note advance registration for this course is required. To reserve your seat select any SCALE registration type and add the "Beginner Linux Training" add-on.
