The only education I ever had on UNIX and Linux was "The Linux Documentation 
Project" (http://www.tldp.org/) Guides and f'ing up my box.  The guides are 
very useful and are --- for the most part --- as good as course material.  
You just have to be motivated to read the stuff and willing to screw up 
your system until you become familar with Linux.
