They usually run for an hour. But, people generally hang around on the
IRC channels much longer.

Weekly. Sometimes, sessions are scheduled based on availability of speakers.

\--

This depends on the session and your interest. The objective is to
learn. Projects and assignments are just side-effects.

The *nix philosophy is based on the ideology that you should do one
thing, and do it well.

That will help you get started. But, if you really want to learn, you
should have a test system where you can tinker with the hardware and
software to the fullest.
