[SLUG] Linux courses

Firstly an apology for my apparent hibernation, an MSc in Internet Computing
is proving to be rather time consuming :)

A GOT (glossary of terms) would prove helpful for users of all levels

I'll be happy to develop this using PHP and if it were made a project then
everyone could learn something. Has anyone got the terms and what sort of
database are we looking at?

As a side note it is claimed (by some) that "Java is the language of the web
and beats PHP hands down in comparative tests"
I don't think you can directly compare Java and PHP and would disagree with
this statement, any thoughts?
