Can someone recommend a good course for persons with grown minds in the Vienna area? Or a tutor I might be able to afford? I had thought, having taught myself various foreign languages including Finnish, that I ought to be able to teach myself linux. But either an antediluvian degree in pure mathematics is a lot less use than a little initial help from a native speaker, or something else is wrong. Half a dozen fat expensive manuals, a second hard drive, and three years of puttering haven't come to much. (For one thing, books don't repartition one another!) I seem to have hit a catch-22 situation, where everything I need to do requires learning all about something else I don't even know where to find, and I'm getting discouraged. I think I need to start over, and go at things in some sort of rational sequence, with somebody to steer me away from cliffs occasionally -- or throw me a rope. Suggestions?? -- RR 'Beartooth' Neuswanger karhunhammas (at) lserv.com Better to be a gamma geek with linux -- if I can ever learn enough of it to use -- than an alpha nerd chained to muckeyslop.
