Has anyone been on or sent an employee on a Linux sysadmin course recently? There seems to be a multitude available but I have no point of reference to choose between them.

General admin (filesystems, quotas, kernels - compiling, etc) is what I'm after but anything which specifically deals with Apache, Exim or Bind would be awesome.

Can anyone recommend an organisation? Preferably with a centre in Berkshire or London.

I'm sure lots of you have been on (or possibly even taught on) courses like this so hopefully you can offer some input.

Thanks :).

The linux & open source area of the forums may be a better place to ask.

I thought that first but then I thought the majority of people in that forum are already Linux nerds. I'm trying to convert a 'normal' to a full on tux t-shirt wearing, bearded weirdo :D.

Thanks Solari - I'll look at those.

Obviously cost is an issue but they seem to all be around £300/day which is fine.
 
considering the windows forum has ~23,000 posts, and the linux forum has ~3,000. I would say that the majority of this forums users are not linux users. Since its a computer forum though most people here have proberly read about linux, maybe know a bit about what it is and such, but by no means are the majority here linux experts. And since there is a forum section specficaly for linux and open source topics, i stand by my opinion that this thread would be more suitable there.

Why not try some of the universities:

I think they are quite reasonable for courses in general.

Possibly a bit basic at that level? The employee in question already has a good grounding, it's more advanced stuff (like kernel compiles for instance) which he needs tuition in.

Thanks for the suggestion though :).

Does anyone work for a company who send you on these things? Do you feel they're worthwhile?
