===============================
http://linuxbasics.org/press/2006-10-7-en


LinuxBasics.org, The community that helps people to run Linux, offers
their second free Linux class, An Introduction to Linux Basics.

This course is designed to give a foundation of understanding of Linux
to a beginner who wants to know a little more about the system. More
advanced Linux users will find an opportunity to dig deeper into some
areas they always wanted to know more about or discover gaps in their
knowledge that they didn't know existed.

The study guide used will be LBook, an edited version of "Introduction
to Linux: A Hands on Guide" by Machtelt Garrels which is distributed
under the GNU FDL.
You will need to join the LBo mailing list in order to participate in
the course (http://linuxbasics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/qna/).

The class is set to begin on October 19, 2006. You can also join after
the October 19 starting date.
