Linux Holdings is a linux and Open Source training company, training Linux Administration as the core focus.

These are not the only Open Source courses we offer, but the most popular.

Training info

Linux Holdings offer a full spectrum of Linux and open source courses. These start from basic low-level courses to the very advanced administration courses.

All our administration courses are based on the international LPI certification. Our trainers are the best available in South Africa. They are not just excellent Linux administrators with many years experience; they are also the best trainers in the industry. Good administrators are not necessarily good trainers; we give you the best of both sides.

Our entry-level and intermediate courses include the ICDL for OpenOffice.org. We have a full marketing and development department constantly developing and updating courses. Linux Holdings invests huge amounts of time and resources in development, testing and research to give the best training available today.

Our quality department ensures that all students are trained to the highest standard possible. It is also the quality departments duty to ensure that students start with the right course so the learning gradient is not to high or to low.

Bigtop::Docs::Tutorial is a simple case study of building a web app with bigtop.
Many (not all) applications are mostly data managers. That is, they are really intermediaries between users and various tables in a database. A bigtop file is meant to be a single place to describe all (or practically all) facits of the data in an application. This includes at least:
- The name and special features of each controller.
- The name of each table in the database.
- A description of each column (field) in each table in the database. This includes at least:
- its name and SQL type
- the label the user sees for it when it appears on the screen
- what type of html form element the user uses to enter or update it
- how the data is validated and filtered on its way into and out of the database (filtering yet supported)
- which table the field refers to if it is a foreign key
- etc.
All of these things, and more, are described in a Bigtop file. That file can be given to bigtop to build the application. Once it is built, it can be safely rebuilt so that only the generated bits are changed (this is accomplished by maintaining a clean separation between generated and hand edited files, and by config options in the bigtop file).
Notice that nothing in the above has committed you or me to any particular web application framework, data modeling scheme, templating system, or web server. Bigtop is neutral (think big tent), at least for Perl apps delivered via the web.

Linux Mobile System project (LMS) is a full Linux system whose support is the new USB Flash Memory Drives. The intention is to boot any PC with USB support with our system and therefore we will have every administration and analysis applications that we have selected, so we will not need install it. This way, always we will be able to get our Linux system ready to use in our pocket.
This project arose with the intention to study the Linux system of exhaustive way and simultaneously enjoy with it. The initial idea is to fuse two separated disciplines: the programming and the systems management. So well center our study in the denominated "system programming, as much networking level as at device level (drivers).
Main features:
- To initiate our Linux system from memories flash USB.
- The system will be a selection of common GNU tools in every system: disk diagnosis, memory, hardware, networks monitoring tools, etc.
- LMS Tux
- As far as possible well develop new tools and/or utilities with the objective to study deeply the underlying technology.
- The programming languages used will be C, C++, Python and Perl, without forget the system shell scripts.
- The resources minimization (disk space, memory...) isnt a functional objective of the developments.
LMSs main aim is to achieve a highly specialized distribution of GNU/Linux which can carried through the USB Flash Memory Drives. Once the distribution is ready in the USB device, it can be carried in your own pocket and you can start up any PC x86 with no need to install it directly in the PC.
The LMS system is aimed at the development of specific tasks such as network administration, security analysis of networks, and recovery and repair of host data, as well as all information exchange, which is what makes it different from other portable systems such as "live CDs". The main idea is to carry all the potency of Linux and our tools in our own pockets, ready to be used.

reciteword project is an education software to help people study English.
reciteword is education software developed using GTK 2 to help people study English and recite English words.

This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . . all the while sneaking in little snippets of UNIX wisdom and lore.
Advanced Bash Scripting Guide serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques.
The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts.
Enhancements:
- This release adds a cross-linked index (the final missing critical feature in this project), other new material (including a new appendix and a couple of new example scripts), and bugfixes.
- This is an important update.

Pioneer Linux is a desktop-oriented, Kubuntu-based distribution targeted at new as well as experienced Linux users. The product comes in two flavours: as a freely downloadable live and installation CD, and as a commercial boxed edition with CrossOver Office and technical support.
Test and try before you install Thats right, you can test Pioneer Linux running off the CD before you decide to perform an installation. This means that you can actually run your operating system and learn it before you install or make that critical decision to leave your previous operating system installation. ASPEN for older computers is not a live CD.
Burn CDs Yes take a look at our screenshots and youll see weve included a utility named K3b so you can burn your CDs or DVDs! K3b is a simple yet powerful tool thats simple to use
Browse the Internet safely Yes its safe! You can browse the Internet safely when you use Pioneer Linux. Its not the same anymore with people dropping viruses or keystroke loggers because of that old unsafe browser youve been using for years! Go wild and have fun!
Listen to music You can listen to your favorite music while working using the CD Player included or make cuts and create your own CD from your music! You decide, the tools are included!
Word processing and more! Yes thats right! Your Pioneer Linux operating system comes with OpenOffice.org that allows you to exchange documents with Word users. You even have the opportunity to run spreadsheets and create professional presentations. More? yes a database application is new with OpenOffice.org 2.0
Play some games Weve packed Pioneer with loads of games to help you kill some time. Want more than those included? Check the knowledge base for more games that can be run like Savage or Civilization.
Utilities Weve included some of the best utilities to manage your operating system today. These utilities come with even our basic ASPEN application so you can manage your system day-to-day!
Enhancements:
- Technalign, Inc. has announced it has released its Beta 1 Pioneer Linux Christian Edition operating system to the community. The beta includes many of the features that come standard with Pioneer Linux. The application includes the King James Bible and many study applications. The Pioneer Christian Edition replaces the Frontier Christian Edition previously retailed by Technaligns partners. There will be a non-installable edition available for Windows users who only want to use the Christian Edition for study. Technalign requests that users report back any applications they would like added as well as applications that they wish removed along with bug reports.
