“OmniLinux, an Open Source network of websites and professional
services, has announced the release of Linux 1-2- 3 Fundamentals,
the first computer-based training (CBT) in a series of Open
Source educational products planned for the Linux market.”
“This interactive CBT is a tutorial designed to introduce the
student to the Linux operating system. Topics in this 13-chapter CD
range from understanding file systems, shells and file security, to
command-line mail, GUI and KDE. The unique learning environment of
Linux 1-2-3 Fundamentals does not assume the student is a Linux (or
Unix) expert. The OmniLinux CBT development staff drew from the
experience of its sister division, Unitek Technical Education.
OmniLinux and Unitek Technical Education are both divisions of
Unitek Information Systems, a Silicon Valley Information Technology
firm.”
“In the spirit of the Open Source movement, OmniLinux has
decided to release the first three chapters for free viewing and
learning–see www.destinationlinux.com. “The best aspect about
Linux and the Open Source world is the flow of free information and
development knowledge. We feel that the Linux 1-2-3 Fundamentals CD
can be the Linux launch pad outsiders can use to learn how easy and
wonderful Linux is,” said Navraj Bawa, OmniLinux’s Director of
Engineering.”
