Ops I should have read ahead. Brian I'm interested in this. I was thinking of doing things like. Installing using RPM (yeah I know that means we'd have to have someone explain alien and apt-get then). Maybe a basic shell and vim class. How to get access to the internet (modem). Connecting to a dhcp server. Changing your dns server. learn how to use top. and Installing RH (well that would be the one I'd want to help on.) (BTW. For the more advanced classes I'd *love* to have a refesher on Samba / Squid / iptables.). And for the developers group would someone want to do an intro to python? (so I'd have an excuse to do one on Ruby. ).

I have gotten us a room for the 1st wed of each month starting on schedule for Sep. 4th as the first meeting. I would be very interested in seeing if You and I and a few other people could get together and hammer out exactly what we will taught and when. As for PHP/Perl/Python classes. I don't think those will necessarly be in the newbie classes that are hosted at sequoia. Because they aren't eactly newbie things and they aren't at all specific to Linux. The classes that I imagine would be geared to getting people up and running smoothly teaching them the basics and getting them comfortable useing linux as a desktop system. Maybe touching on some extremely basic admin stuff, letting them know about more advanced topics, but not teaching them. Once they are up and running we would point them towards the PLUG group, PHP group or whereever for more advanced topics.
