I mean do you learn by yourself by means of trail and Error or Its worth attending some professional Linux Training ?

Rehman Bhai,

Welcome to the world of linux!

The best way to learn is to work with linux. If you are a serious learner you will find level of Linux Institute way below mark. The institutes get money to teach you and not to get you teached. So buy a cheap PC, load linux and start banging the key board. It worked for 90% of list, why not for you.

Warm Regards,

Short answer - you dont require training at an institute. But....

What is your background? and what is it you want to learn. Learning to use a desktop is quite straight forward. Especially with a distro like ubuntu / kubuntu. No need for any course. Google will answer most questions, the rest this list will answer. OTOH learning any of the 100s of different things that computers can do along with free software is a never ending task. Again all resources are available on the web and imo the institutes are a sham. Learning takes from zero to infinity depending on what exactly you are trying to do.

Also does anyone know of Good Linux training Institutes in Vashi ? is anyone here from around Vashi area ?

Its good to see you all sharing ideas and contributing towards the open source revolution.Well, I got introduced to linux only a month ago by one of my coworkers, and I must admit that I found it a bit difficult to grasp at first.As I am starting to get used to it I am finding it more productive as compared to Windows and getting more excited about it I recently bought an eeePC, Its a marvellous combination of mobility and productivity, what more would you want in a notebook?

Forget professional training institutes. Just experiment. If you get stuck up, shoot off a question here. If we're not able to solve it then get your machine to HBCSE ( mankhurd ). There are a lot of people to help you there. If thats not feasible, i'm sure someone on this list who works / stays near vashi will be more than happy to help you out at your place :)

Best of luck!
