[Novalug] Tech Sessions @ Red Hat Tysons

[Anthony Soucek]

I am interested in bash basics, vi, firewalls, and the linux
equivalent of terminal server.  Gui installs are pretty no brainer,
and I have set up Ubuntu for VMware, but installing software is still
a bear if it isnt natively supported by Add/Remove programs (sorry my
brain was crippled my Microsoft)  maybe performance tuning.  Heck, any
hands on with someone experienced would be a good thing!
