I Learn Linux Offers Ubuntu Training Videos

  • Written by Joe Panettieri 1
  • July 14, 2008

The I Learn Linux website, which started a few years ago, now offers Ubuntu training via online videos and CDs. I’m not endorsing the training series (since I haven’t given the materials a close look) But I traded email with Clyde Boom, the author of the video and CD series, to get more info on his efforts. Here’s what Boom had to say.

Works With U: How long has I Learn Linux existed?

Boom: The I Learn Linux web site was started a few years ago when I found that people were having a very hard time getting easy, understandable Linux training–and they were having a hard time learning how to use Linux with “traditional” Linux books and online documentation (such as free Linux training documentation at web sites).

The site started by offering Linux training in the form of video tutorials on Linux Administration and Commands. We found that a lot of people want to learn Linux quickly and easily by “seeing and going.”

They watch these Linux training videos and then pause them and then try the steps they have just seen themselves. This provides: “Easy, self-paced
Linux training – in Plain English!”

Works With U: When and why did you begin focusing on Ubuntu training?

Boom: Shortly after the release of the “Linux Admin & Commands” video tutorials CD, we started getting a lot of requests to do Linux training videos for Ubuntu Linux. At the time–and to this day–Ubuntu Linux was becoming incredibly popular and so the decision was made to create Ubuntu Linux training video tutorials.

And now there are over seven hours of Ubnutu Linux training videos on three CDs!

  • CD 1 covers Downloading Ubuntu, Running Ubuntu “Live” and Installing Ubuntu
  • CD 2 covers Ubuntu Linux Software Installation, Hardware, Internet, Printing and Updating
  • CD 3 covers Working with the Ubuntu Desktop, Using Linux Programs, and Managing Data Files

You can order the Ubuntu Linux Training CDs as a 3 CD set or order them individually. When you order on CD, you automatically get 30 days of access to Online iewing so you can easily log in and watch the Ubuntu Linux videos immediately after you order–so you can watch them “online” until your CD(s) arrive!

You can go now to http://www.iLearnLinux.com/Ubuntu-Linux and watch free sample Ubuntu Linux videos and get more information on these Ubuntu Linux video tutorial CDs. You can also order the Ubuntu Linux videos for Online Viewing only, if you don’t want to get the CDs delivered to you.

Works With U:
How many people have taken the training so far?

Boom: Several hundred individuals and companies have used the “I Learn Linux” Ubuntu Linux training videos. There is a HUGE demand for Ubuntu Linux training – and we want to let people know we have it!

Works With U: What types of people are taking the training? Business users, IT administrators, consumers, someone else?

Boom: Ubuntu Linux training is “all over the map” and quite literally “all over the world.” We get lots of individuals – in all walks of life – that want to get rid of Windows and get rid of the outrageous Microsoft licensing fees.

And some of these people are “home users” and some are “home office users.” We also get companies and organizations that want to get rid of Microsoft indows and save a small fortune by using Ubuntu – for everything from servers for file sharing and printing – to workstations for their users
that are running “office productivity” programs, like the Open Office Suite.

Works With U: Has anything surprised you so far about the Ubuntu Linux market?

Boom: We’re still surprised at how little people know about Ubuntu Linux and the Linux software programs that run on Ubuntu, like the “Open Office Suite” — which is just like the Windows “Office Suite” of programs. They don’t realize you can get Ubuntu for free–many are skeptical–and they don’t know that the Linux “Open Office Suite” is a free, stable and reliable alternative to the Microsoft “Office Suite.”

Works With U: Any other key points you’d like to raise or mention?

Boom: Yes! We’re quite excited about our new Ubuntu Linux “blog to book” project that we called (surprisingly) the “Ubuntu Linux Book Blog” – and you can read this Linux blog for free at: http://www.UbuntuLinuxBookBlog.com

This Linux book / eBook is being developed online– daily–and will cover will the essential information needed to use Ubuntu Linux. You can contribute and be a part of developing an Ubuntu Linux book by posting comments to the blog.

    ilearnlinux has the most vile website design I’ve seen in a while. He should pick up a training DVD on web design me thinks. The site looks cheap and amateurish, and frankly I wouldn’t deal with them as a result of it.
