>  I completed this course quite recently. It is quite basic, but I found
some of it quite useful. The distros studied (Ubuntu/DSL) were run in a
VM and at the time I hadn't got a machine fast enough!!!!. After
consultation I was permitted to do full installs using digital photos
as evidence, until the system was capable of taking screen shots. An
introduction to the CLI. and various other stuff. As with all OU
courses (I am an OU science graduate, so speak from experience), there
is loads of support and it is a very enjoyable experience. They are
thinking of doing a Part II I believe. I have already voted for that.
