These are links to training materials for Linux use and/or system administration. I've tried to only include links that offer on-line courses or study. A few of these are commercial sites. Some of them are less training than others. If you know of another site, or find one of those darn broken links, please let me know. Although most people would think that more "Alan's" would be bad, I've actually intended them to be like stars so more of my little mugs means I liked it better.

http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#guide : This is where you start. These are the texts of the main Linux documentation body, the LDP. I basically recommend all of them but especially the ones with 'Administrator" in the title. |

http://www.geek-girl.com/unix.html : On a quicj read, this site looks loaded with interesting Unix information |
|
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/usail/ : A well-regarded, on-line CBT course for UNIX administration. Includes a self-test at the end. I like dthis a lot. |

http://basiclinux.hypermart.net/ : An on-going, free on-line course on basic Linux |
|
http://www.linuxtraining.co.uk/ : Actually a site that spreads free Linux training materials more than an actual training site. Well, actually it's not clear what they really have ready. They do sell delivery (i.e., they are trainers themselves). |
