Questions and Answers:

• Q: How to reach the training location (Hotel Mas de Vence) from the airport?
  A: You can go to Terminal 1 and take the 400 bus line from Nice to Vence. It takes about 40 mn to reach the hotel. The bus passes in front of the hotel, and you may ask the driver to let you get out there. In busy days, the bus will leave you just 400 m away. Another option is to take city bus line 94. Anyway, the fastest option to arrive from the airport is to take a taxi. Taxis between the airport and Vence cost from 40 to 50 €. If you don't arrive at Terminal 1, and if you are in a hurry, that's really the fastest option.
• Q: How easy is it to travel to Nice? Are low-cost flights available?
  Nice has the second biggest airport in France in terms of traffic. There are lots of direct flights from many European cities, and from most capitals, including a significant number of low-cost flights. Depending on where you are, it could be cheaper to fly to Nice that to other parts of your country!
• Q: Would you have any hotel to recommend?
  A: We recommended staying at the hotel where our sessions are held (see above). The hotel offers as special price for training participants, has free WIFI, and is located within a few hundred meters of the historic center of Vence. Other hotels in Vence are available too. Staying in Nice or in Sophia Antipolis is not very convenient, because of heavy traffic in these areas.
• Q: May I leave a little earlier on the last day?
  A: Yes, it's possible. The agenda makes sure most important topics are covered by 3:00 pm on the last day. Anyway, we can still keep you busy until 6:00 pm.
• Q: Do I have to pay training expenses ahead of time?
  A: No, and this makes last minute registrations quick and easy. We just need a formal commitment from you (a Training Convention for French customers, or a purchase order for other customers).
• Q: The session is just in a few day. Isn't it too late to register?
  A: No, as no advance payment is required to register, your registration can be processed and confirmed very quickly. We may just ask the participant to supply a laptop for the session, as we may not be able to rent one in time.
• Q: I am quite new to Linux. Won't I get lost if I register?
  A: It's true that this course requires a good command of the C language, as well as basic skills in the Unix/Linux command line. Some self training with our Unix command line slides will definitely make you more productive during the session. However, lots of Linux beginners have already done all right without this, thanks to our help during the course and thanks to the command memento sheet that we give to participants.
