I don't know that anyone ever stops using these resources.  I wouldn't
view needing them as a weekness; there's far too much to know for any
one person to not need references.

You can see the site at http://oreilly.useractive.com/courses/sysadmin.php3 , the prices are reasonable, and having University of Illinois backing it up isn't too shabby either.  But I've never taken an online course before and just wanted to hear what people would think of going down this road.  This would ideally be for becoming more proficient with Linux on my own, and possibly a resume spot down the road.  Currently I can get Fedora Core up and running as a dual boot, and after using gnome for a couple of months I feel pretty comfortable using Linux.  I just don't feel proficient; I still man, info, and google to get things working they way I would like.
