Linux for bioinformatics training

I don't think anyone should learn bioinformatics without learning how to use Linux OS. Most of us are self-taught. Won't it be great if training course is easily available. Many times we are not aware. Only recently I was informed by a colleague that such courses can be organized in the computer faculty. And I just missed one! Imagine my frustration. Until I received an email this morning.
