Hi All,
I have thought of the following course/guideline for workshop for Hardware Vendors.
The duration of the workshop will be 1 day (6-8 hrs).
1. Why Free and Open Source Software (30 Mins).
2. Outline of the System and Basic differences between GNU/Linux and MS Windows. (30 Mins).
3. Hardware compatibility and on-line references for checking compatibilities of various hardware. (30 Mins).
4. Introduction to various common Applications (30 Mins).
5. Installation of GNU/Linux, partitioning basics, dual boot etc. (2 Hrs.).
6. Introduction to basic System Administration, CLI, GUI, X, WM, DM etc. (1:30 Hrs.)
7. Basic troubleshooting principles and guidelines. (Reading log files etc.) (30 Mins).
We have to evolve course material as above. Please suggest any changes, addition deletion etc. Also this is just a broad outline. We need detail course material which we can give to workshop participants as handouts.
Everyone is requested to contribute. TIA With regards,
Hi, http://www.linuxtraining.co.uk/download/ has linux training slides for download. The license is based on the Linux Documentation Project license. Maybe we can take some pointers (in applicable areas) from them to build on (re-use), add our own material where required and then allow the training material to evolve over time. This may help in getting started quickly. We will just have to review the license properly to check if we are allowed to re-use their material.
regards Parag

Nice idea Parag. Can you do more research on this and post findings on the list? That will help us lot in finalising our course material.
TIA for taking trouble. With regards,

etc. (1:30 Hrs.)
I missed the comma after "System Administration" in the first glance and that prompted me to consider this: a lot of sysad GUI tools keep changing frequently in layout etc. so it would be nice to stick to CLI for most sysad tasks and present GUI tools only if their interface has been stable for quite some time (eg. printconf-gui (on RedHat)).
