I still consider myself to be something of a Linux newbie (well, I know 
enough to get me into trouble) and I'd been thinking of asking if anyone 
knew of any worthwhile courses on Linux administration at a fairly basic 
level. I mean maybe two-day courses rather than more involved (and 
expensive ones).

If the LUG were able to set something up of this nature, I'd be very 
interested especially if the cost were "affordable" (not necessarily free). 
I'm in Derby but that's no big deal to travel up to Sheffield.
