[PLUG] LTSP System Administration Course Announcement

[MJ Coe]

Looking for folks interested in a community education course on:


LTSP SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION


WHY:  LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) might possibly be the
education/workplace computing wave of the future.  In an effort to provide
the Linux community with opportunities to learn more about LTSP
installation, configuration, and system administration, this course is
designed to provide hands-on practical LTSP lab/Linux server and networking
experience.

(Basically, this course is being coordinated by an individual disappointed
with the lack of currently available LTSP and advanced Linux hands-on
educational opportunities)

WHO: Created in response to the needs of college students, K-12 public
school educators/IT coordinators, and business sysadmins wishing to learn
more about the capabilities and administration of LTSP labs.

WHAT: Providing hands-on experience by building a working LTSP lab from
scratch.  The intent is to provide each participant with their own LTSP
computer/server and clients to set up and configure.  For a general course
outline (still considered a working document) and list of preferred course
prerequisites, see the following link:

there will only be 7 classes.

WHERE: Tentatively Madison High School, Room C6 (2735 NE 82d, Portland.
Easy access -- by MAX, just a few blocks north of MAX 82d street stop. By
