<div>Hi Walter,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Welcome to the group.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've done some good general unix courses with Learning Tree in London that I can recommend. The lunches are great there too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you were learning Linux in order to get a job I'd say go for Suse in Europe and see if you can become Novell certified. Redhat is bigger in America with the RHCE being a kind of MCSE equivalent. But as you are just in it for the learning I'd probably do as Mark suggests and search the internet until your eyes bleed.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And now for the predictable part..</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Tried Gentoo? :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Gentoo site, howto and wiki are probably the greatest set of documentation you can read.<br><br> </div>
