I have just bought an Eee PC with linux operating system, and would like to set up a logbook on it. Does anyone know of one I can use, or do I need to create it from scratch?
Well done you - fly the flag for Open Source !
I guess you'd be looking at a web-based logbook.
Depends on how fast a learner you are. I guess you can cover the core topics in a year but would you be good enough to get a job as a sysadmin ?
Most Linux people I know learned by themselves as they went along and they never stop learning.
