OK, so, first off... "Crash course" must have been a Freudian slip due to
too many years on the Evil Empire (MS).
Secondly, I should have been more specific.
Novell is talking to me about a sales position. I believe they, like IBM and
many others, have reinvented themselves, and Linux is playing a great part
in their strategies....
So, I'm looking for a talking points overview on the system, as well as some
informational reading at some websites you can point me to.
Thanks all.
WST

What are you wanting to do exactly, think of linux as a blank piece of
paper, you load it according to it's use. In other words if you want a
workstation with a desktop like windoz then you can do that, or you can
load it to have only a command line and act as a server or some sort.
Many many things you can do with it, and sometimes it isn't always
intuitive but as has been pointed out there is a vast amount of
information out. What flavor are you going to use? RedHat, Debian,
YellowDog, Mandrake? That will help as well, the core is essentially the
same, but some of the ways you do things is different. Hope that didn't
muddy the water.
