Ubuntu is holding free web based classes geared toward beginner and
intermediate users. Here is the link http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays
Details below...

The Ubuntu User Days Team would like to announce the first Ubuntu User
Day, on January 23, 2010. This will be a very informative one day
session geared towards beginner and intermediate Ubuntu users, as well
as people who are interested in using Ubuntu. We have 14 classes
covering topics ranging from installing Ubuntu, finding help,
equivalent programs, using IRC, getting involved in the Ubuntu
Community and more. We have enlisted the help of many talented people
to lead these classes throughout the day.

These classes will be taught in #ubuntu-classroom with questions being
asked in #ubuntu-classroom-chat on irc.freenode.net. Please visit
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays for a complete class list and schedule
of classes.

There is also a Spanish version of Ubuntu User Days being offered on
January, 23, 2010. Please visit Día Del Usuario Ubuntu at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiaDelUsuarioUbuntu for more information on
the Spanish Ubuntu User Day!
