I'm not in Denver, nor Architecture - but the idea of a semi/loosely
structured system of learning experiences dealing with Linux/Unix appeals to
me. There is _way_ too much to the Linux experience for me to really get
very far very fast otherwise muddeling around on my own as I have been.

Now for the other side of the story - I also don't have a clue as to how to
set such a thing up!

Thanks for listening.
