While not exactly tutors L.U.G.S.(Linux User GroupS) can be helpfull.
I typed "linux user groups corpus christi" into google and found several in your area. Most LUGS have regular meetings to discuss and learn linux. If you find one close to you at a time you can attend then they will almost certainly be helpful.
Besides them there are tech schools that offer linux courses if your willing to pay. then there is always the free and mind boggleing assortment of websites on the net.
Which distro of Linux are you interested in? Some sites center on specific distros of prefferance.

Thank you for your response. The courses are an option.

The local Community College offers one Unix course (starts January 2006). I don't want to spend around eight weeks in that environment.

Paying a tutor or tech school is good.

I'll look around for a user group ......... that was good idea.

I have five computers running BOINC that I want to switch from W2K to Linux. They are on a network and I manage them from a laptop (WXP) using PC Anywhere. Their only function in life is to crunch. All are identical mobo and use AMD XP CPUs, 1.8GHz or better.

I have an old RedHat I played with before and I've tried Lindows. and I currently have FC 4 installed on one computer and have Internet connectivity. It has one of the GUI interfaces, GNOME I think. I have not managed to get BOINC installed on it and have been unsucessful figuring out how to get SSH connected between it and the laptop, so I can manage it.

Thank you for your response.

SSH is relatively easy, grab a Windows client (I did a search for "putty.exe", it's a great little client, much like telnet), edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, start the sshd service (either through /etc/init.d/sshd or through the menus, and connect over port 22 (make sure the firewall on both FC4, Windows, and whatever router you have permits it). That's all there is to it. I would also DEFINITELY advise to look for the LUGS in your area, while not a "real member" of one in my area, I know plenty of them, ask nicely and offer some beer, and they are always willing to help me... :)

What kind of problem are you haveing with Boinc on FC4? I installed it on FC3 with no problem(but I used the binary tarball version so I didn't have to compile). I don't use Gnome regularly. I use KDE. but I usually install both along with developement packages for both incase I DL a program that requires them to make or compile the source.

My problem is ignorance.....I don't know how to do it.

The only reason I installed Gnome was I don't know any different. I think I had KDE installed with RH before but can't remember. I'd always lose interest and end up deleting the install to use the HD on some other project.

I found lots of "how to's", just not any BOINC "how to's".

If I can get one done, I'll clone the HD for the other four.

Debian seemed to have the most "useful" how to's and information available. I may just blow the FC4 install and buy the Debian CDs and do their install.

I appreciate your responses.
