for those interested, i'm now doing some work with a chap whose name might be familiar to some of you -- karim yaghmour -- who has recently open-sourced his linux and android courseware here: http://www.opersys.com/training as you can see, for all four of those classes, you're welcome to download the full courseware. at the moment, i'm working on the two linux courses and updating the material to reflect the 3.x kernel, but you're welcome to download and peruse whatever you want. i'm hoping to have fully-updated courses there at some point in the near future. in my copious free time. :-) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
