I would be interested in doing a basic security class. I would use the SANS securing Linux step by step for a guide, all the students should buy a copy. $49.00 from their web site, some of it is a bit dated but can be applied nevertheless. There is also a six user license version for $79.00, if people prepay then we could purchase that for them and save a bit. It would be geared toward workstations, although I could do some server level stuff if there is interest. I am most comfortable with RedHat so I would use that as the baseline for the course. The version can be anything from 6.0 to 7.2, whatever people have the most interest in. As far as time, I would think that 6 hours should be enough for a workstation class, perhaps separated out into two days. Evenings would be best so people are off work, maybe Saturday and Sunday although I am flexible currently. I would think between 10 and 20 people would be fine. I would like one workstation and monitor for each two students, as well as a projector that I can plug into my workstation. I do not have this so hopefully it can be provided. (I will bring my own system, and can provide my own monitor, but would rather not haul the monitor around if one can be provided.) I am thinking around $75.00 per head, but if that is too much or too little let me know. I have never done a formal class for this before, or for anything else, so I am open to suggestions from those who have. Thanks.

It's my understanding that our city is now without a great Network Security Administrator as George Toft has found the opportunity to be employed in Florida. The reason for the post though is that I would like to begin a project that I have been putting together. George was going to be the Newbie Teacher for Linux but since he is not in town, I need a replacement. The concept will be to hold classes for a variety of programs, functions or abilities within a room at my office location. I would like to hold meetings with potential "teachers" and gather information about written material, class times and such. If anyone is interested in doing classes on the west side, whether one time classes, periodic or weekly classes, please respond to me with the following: 1. Type of class 2. Do you have written material? 3. Proposed length of class 4. Proposed class volume 5. Equipment needs 6. Days or frequency and times you are available for teaching 7. Proposed fees to students I also need to have listed anything else that does not fit into items above that would help determine class needs. Item #7 above will include your costs, material costs, costs of the facility and other minor costs. These fees should be very much affordable to the student and the propose class size. Keep in mind that this is preliminary searching and apply only if you are willing to make the commitment to classes, traveling, coordinating with my office and are willing to make a little cash! : ) I will be scheduling time today for this week to create a website interface and such. So, forgive me for the request for email replies. Otherwise, to chit chat about this project, please call my office at 602-375-5363. (I have been sick and barely have a voice today but it's strong enough to last! hehe).
