Linux Rute ... actually looks like a very good book ... the only drawback is that it does not necessarily have exercises. So ... for an 8 week compressed online class in Linux ... I need all the help I can get in preparing exercises / lectures. So ... I am leaning towards a book prepared by Thomson learning (www.course.com) entitled "Linux+ Certification." (ISBN 0-619-20563-6). There is an annotated teachers version of this as well. I will highly recommend the "Linux Rute ... " book as an additional reference for the students. This book is geared towards the classroom and the 101/102 exams. The only drawback is that it is centered on RedHat 9.0 (gui related items) .... and since it is sort of slipping away ... I am leaning towards using Suse 9 because I have the full download of it on a Linux box ... which I can use for an "installfest" for the class. Just my thoughts.
