Are school students really interested in learning about Linux? You bet!
In response to the massive demand from our students at school and at HSC Online (http://hsconline.nsw.edu.au) I've started putting together the skeleton of an online course. I'll be using the HSC Online site... and all the capabilities of Moodle... hoping
Initial suggestions from students include:
- the power of the shell (getting away from GUIs for real power and control)
- dual-booting (Linux + Windows... or others, too!)
- setting up a personal webserver, firewall server
I've begun with some more highly-technical content too, with a basic coverage of my 32-bit chroot install of Ubuntu within the 64-bit Ubuntu that I'm currently running on a server at school.
