Thanks to all who responded to my posting. Since I posted, I have learned that the bean counters are very reluctant to send me to any seminar outside of the Seattle area, so that rules out all but one response. Also, I should have mentioned that we do not have a UNIX source code license, so in addition to not being able to do any halfway useful customizing of our UNIX system, it seems that the best seminars are off-limits to me :-(. The most-mentioned seminars were the USENIX tutorials offered in conjunction with their conferences. They offer both BSD and Sys V versions, and both require a source license. For more information, call 415-528-8649. (recommended by many) AT&T also offers a UNIX internals course (Sys V of course). Source license required. (barnett@unclejack.crd.ge.bom) Sun offers a SunOS internals class in various locations, including Seattle. No mention on whether or not a source license is required. (konkord!drc) [I will be contacting the local Sun office for more details on this one.] aspect!kevinc wrote to tell about a UNIX internals seminar sponsored by his company and taught by a Boulder Software Group (Boulder, CO) employee. Bill Ruskin Consulting (Silicon Valley, Ph. 408-241-8319) will be teaching courses on HP-UX (generally Sys.V with some BSD enhancements) from 10 to 12 Oct. (rajeev@hpsrrkm.hp.com) The UCB extension in Menlo Park (415-323-8141) offers evening courses in UNIX internals (Course number 308270). (rajeev@hpsrrkm.hp.com) [This course is offered two nights a week for five weeks, so unless you live in the area, forget it.] Note: Nobody has been quoted here. All responses have been summarized in my own words. -- David Barts Pacer Corporation, Bothell, WA davidb@pacer.uucp ...!uunet!pilchuck!pacer!davidb
