Leon; Any news about the courses?

With the Linux Install one, with the

"Set up and tinker with a few bits and pieces like maybe
Apache+PHP+SQL, a major office app, pppd and so on. Class sizes 6-8.",

would you be considering a continuation one, on these topics; eg an
intermediate to advanced course, in Apache, and PHP, etc?

I know of some who could be interested, in intermediate to advanced Apache
and PHP, etc, if available, in the context of PHP development.
