Hello everyone,
I am currently beginning to look for a job after my contract with the Air Force is up. I have put my resume on Monster and been receiving at least an email/call a day about a job. What I have noticed with some of them is that they require knowledge in Linux/Unix environment OS. Most of these jobs have been network engineer, however I have also been offered network administrator and security analyst. What would be a good class that primarily entails UNIX OS that could help me in this grand endeavor? Any help would be highly appreciated.

If you want to go on the cheap, CBT Nuggets has Linux "courses" that will give you a working level knowledge of Linux. If you need that hands on have a teacher there thing look for night classes in college and go for a linux certification. The training should be predominately in command line.
The basics of Linux are:
- common commands (cp, mv, chown, chgrp, etc, etc, etc).
- understanding vi (write your resume in vi lol)
- BASH scripting (is easy to do when you know the command commands)
I don't think you'd need formal training for these, it's more a matter of repetition in getting them in your head. Once you learn the commands they stay in your head..forever. -

While pricey, I believe that the official Red Hat classes are really great. I recommend you start self-studying the Linux+ certification first, and try to practice everything in this certification objectives list. This will be a great Intro -

I went to one at my local college. We spent 9 months building 3 servers (Debian, CentOS and Solaris) then we hooked them all together with kerberos, PKI, web services and various monitoring. It was pretty spendy but well worth it.
