RE: UNIX Courses

Simon,

Get hold of a cruddy Intel box.
Install Suse 7.0 Linux and Oracle 8.1.7. Configure your environment so that your default shell is sh, bsh, or ksh. Play with it until it breaks.

OReilly's "Learning Unix", "Unix in a Nutshell" and "Learning the Korn Shell" can help with everything you need to know. Don Burleson's Unix for Oracle DBAs may help too, I've really only glanced through it but it looks useful for starters.

As far as classroom courses go, I've never attended one that I thought was better than teaching myself.

Having said that, if someone else is paying follow Oracle recommended course path (but build the test box too).

Regards,
Mike Hately
