My first introduction to a *nix was with Thurman's Intro to Unix course. I found 95% of the things I learned in that class worked with linux also. That was when I first installed linux, and I was able to go home and do everything on the linux box just the same. Thurman is a great teacher, also. We even had Der Hans in as a guest speak, which gave me the intro. to this group. If the Advanced Unix course is any thing like the Intro. course I would definetly recommend it.
