Just about at the one year anniversary of my monthly not-for-profit https://LinuxUpskillChallenge.org Have plans underway to partner up with someone who's also committed to seeing it continue and to grow. Will be looking

Gratitude and humility. Concentrate on the multiple wonderful things you've experienced in this life. Recognise that every single one of your ancestors had their life, then it ended just as yours will. Recognize that you are part of a

Hard to know how you could state this so confidently, snacked on a kakapo recently?

I was excited for a moment, because I was a listener of his "Daily show" way-back-when distinctly remember when Apple got on board for example. At the time he was legitimately a pioneer of the technology, terminology and the mediu

Thanks, I did dig through my emails and got in touch with a few of The Originals. You guys were willing to buy a "pig in a poke" - I gave out no outline or Table of Content (still don't!), and you paid Real Money to get conte

Ha, ha, my original goal was to make a tidy pile of $$, but also a desire to teach and share. The feedback I get is certainly bouying me up as I go forward toward that big unknown. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks for those that got the word out. Looks like we have a "class" of about 1,300 for this month, and its humming along nicely. (There are 5,630 sub'd, but that includes all those from previous classes who've not unsub

Yes! This is techy and certainly not everyone "cup of tea" - most people would run a mile. But everyone is learning to remotely control a powerful server on the Internet ...which I think is cool and empowering. We're coverin

Wow, thanks Jason!

Thanks, but most of that would be way over the top for my "newbies". However, You must be the third or fourth person today to suggest that I add a TOC - so that is something I think I'll need to look at!

Yup. No way of knowing exactly, but I'd guess that quite a lot of the "students" are in the same boat...

Thanks, and I appreciate your comment. Things do get a little messy, but overall I've been happy with Reddit as a platform - once I figured out to pin a big FAQ ("How This Works") posting. Noone seems to read the sidebar :-(

Well in a sense, I do "know better". There is a real benefit to setting up a VPS "fully exposed to the Internet (another thing that some struggle with); A real benefit to taking a day to investigate each day's lesson; A

Yes, I've commented in a number of places that this is essentially Part I of a two part intro to the absolute minimum I'd like a newbie sysadmin to know. It's likely that I'll put a tentative ToC for Part II into somewhe

Thanks, that old interface really was much nicer...

Well it is what it is. One of the "odd" things is not really knowing how long you've got. Doctors hate to put a date on it, and clearly everyone's trying to push things out - but it makes planning difficult :-) For this

Although I say repeatedly that each 'lesson' has about two hours work in it I worry that were lessons available, students will just skim though the whole lot "in one go". I also believe that 'forcing' students
