You could come over to St. Christopher House at the corner of Dundas & Ossington where we need to figure out the same thing and we could all learn together.
We've got a donation of a Netfinity 5500 server that we will be installing Debian on this week. It's in a location we can't always access, so I was planning to boot with Knoppix and then do a debrootstrap install at our leisure over SSH. So, if you or anyone else wants to come around and check out the Linux excitement, this week is probably a good time to check out the program since we're having a Christmas party Wednesday starting at 5:30.

It's a social services agency, one of the older ones in Toronto and not affiliated with any religious group (the name suggests this). The Dundas & Ossington branch (north-west corner) has a community learning program which is FLOSS-friendly. Presently there's a PHP group and a Linux group with meetings Thursday evenings and some other evenings depending on what we get organized. We've a Yahoo Group at: http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/sch_study/ This is the program's web site: http://www.bangthedrum.net Our co-ordinator swung the Netfinity donation and now we have a pretty awesome machine at our disposal ready to be Debianized. We plan to use it as a workspace for the various projects we have in mind so we'll start with a SSH shell server and soon add PHP/MySQL. We're tossing around ideas around booting thin client support for machines in the computer lab as well. Eventually it would be good if it supported a content management repository for users and staff, and a facility for this has been commissioned and is gradually becoming ready. Personally, I'm tinkering with Python & web services ideas so I'd like server support for that. There's so much capacity that we're open to ideas, of course. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

St. Christopher House is a social services agency (one of the oldest on Toronto). Despite the name, it's not affiliated with any religion. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
