I'd like to get opinions on possibly taking a linux/unix course. We run a Red Hat 9 linux server in a small business, and I come from a primarily windows environment (though I do use a little Unix on Mac OS X). I was debating taking a unix/linux course at a local community college. We also own "Red Hat Linux Networking and System Administration", but obviously I need the time to read this book. I don't have the luxury of playing with our server to learn and get hands-on feel. So based on this course description...is it worth it? How in-depth do community college courses of this nature go? Is there another, perhaps better way to go about learning what I need to know?
