Most of my job entails user support on an IBM 3084Q which runs VM/CMS and lots of applications. We recently acquired a fairly large multiple user Unix box. I know little about Unix, but my job will eventually involve supporting it and its applications. Our unix box is a MIPS machine, sold by CDC, which runs something called EP/IX which hosts both BSD and System V variants of Unix. The BSD flavor seems to be favored here. Due to my large workload plus the fact that I am a graduate student after work, I don't have time to learn Unix on my own. I also find Unix difficult to learn compared to some other operating systems that I know. Perhaps that's because Unix has a lot more flexibility than most other operating systems. My employer is willing to pay for me to be trained in Unix. My boss has recommended some Unix courses, but they both conflict with my schedule. I looking for a company that offers Unix training with somewhere around the Philadelphia area. Washington or New York city would be nice too (ahem). I need a course that meets during semester breaks and that covers typical Unix at beginners than more advanced levels. I am not interested in Unix from a system manager's point of view though. Any suggestions on companies which offer such training will be appreciated.
