: Back in the good old days, I used give a 'Introduction to Unix and C
: programming
: course'... It was two hours a week for a year, we got to do a little
admin,
: some C programming, a little bit of X windows programming.. I'd hate
: to try fit that into 3 days (and expect people to understand anything..)..
:
: Unless you set the course as - for experienced unix users only...
otherwise
: you'll lose them as soon as you mention hierarchical filesystem (wha? -
: but where's me C: drive... there is a hard disk on the machine...)
:
: Then again, if you do set it for experienced users only - no-one will
wanna
: go on it :(
:
: What you really want to do is have an
:  ' Intro to Unix course' (file systems, man, handy tools - telnet / ftp /
:   X windows for users )
:
: Then have
:  ' Advanced Unix users course ' ( indepth of Unix architecture, processes
,
:   C programming / kernel interface / shell scripting )
:
: Then
:  ' Basic Administration course ' ( adding users / user+group permissions /
:   backups / remote admin / security / services )
:
:  ' Advanced Administration ' ( security, security, security, kernel tuning
: etc..
:   adding services - samba/apache, security, syslog )
:
:  ' Unix Network Administration ' ( ipchains / firewalling / IDS / LAN
design
:   LinuxVirtualServer, Diskless X terminals etc..)
:
:
: Then - tell people that to go on each course, they should be up to speed
on
: all the previous ones.. and run the course as if they are...
