Don, 

Great suggestion. I will put together a workshop on the Linux file system. In 
the meantime, if you want to do some self study, I put a link on the Wiki to 
a video that covers this topic using the Ubuntu distribution, but Xandros is 
very similar. Also, if you go to Xandros Networks and under New Applications 
>> Education >> Guides, install The Linux Cookbook, it has chapter on the 
Linux file system. Finally, The Ultimate Linux Newbie Guide, Chapter 11 
( http://www.linuxnewbieguide.org/chap11.php ) also does a good job. 

Keep those cards and letters, and questions, coming. If we don't know what you 
folks want to learn about, it makes developing workshops all the more 
difficult. 

Let me know what you think about the video. I am considering doing something 
similar for our SIG.
