[Watford] Lug Update

[Steven Acreman]

Hi Walter,

Welcome to the group.

I've done some good general unix courses with Learning Tree in London that I
can recommend. The lunches are great there too.

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.

And now for the predictable part..

Tried Gentoo? :)

The Gentoo site, howto and wiki are probably the greatest set of
documentation you can read.
