I'm interested in hearing about good open-source training materials
for GNU/Linux use and administration. I've recently gotten interested
in the field of online training, which we
do some of at O'Reilly
and which is clearly a growing trend in every field. Specifically, I'd
asking for pointers to information that:
- ranges from basic Bash shell commands to configuration and monitoring of major Internet services, with a focus on GNU/Linux;
- is specifically designed and formatting for self-paced training, such as modules with questions and exercises;
- is under a free license, such as Creative Commons Share-Alike;
- is accurate, well-paced, and otherwise of high quality; and
- is preferably in English, but otherwise in a popular European language such as Spanish, French, Portuguese, etc.
Are you looking for general information that can be used in a training environment, or information that is already in a 'training manual' format (with chapters, questions, inter-references, etc). Because (as you know) the info is out there (tldp.org comes to mind). I'm not sure how much is there that's pre-formatted from an 'education' perspective tho
Thanks for asking for clarification, Adam. I'm looking for pretty specific stuff that is really aimed at self-paced learning. I added a bullet item in response to your comment. I know that there are huge repositories of good information in general documentation format, but I want to see focused training materials.
Hi,
It's free but not not Creative Commons. The remaining objectives are satisfied at IBM Developerworks:

Follow either the link for Linux or the link for Open Source.
