Hello,

I was thinking that it might be useful to do an IAP course on some
aspect of Linux.  Would anyone be interested in helping with this?
What topics should be discussed and what focus should it have?
Some topic ideas:

        -- Why you might want to run Linux
        -- Installing Slackware
        -- Configuring X
        -- Installing Linux-Athena and Linux-AFS
        -- How to use Linux-Athena
        -- System administration (or, "what are all those files in
           /etc for anyways?") including networking, etc

If we're going to do this, we need to decide soon since the deadline
for registering classes is October 26.

        --- Erik

I might be able to help, but I suspect you'll have more undergrads
with more free IAP time than me...  (And I'll be busy with the bridge
building contest starting on January 16th.)

As I told Mike, I'll be happy to help out with the IAP course in
Linux, as long as I'm not responsible for organizing it.

I think we should do this, and I'd like to help...

Some other things we might want to touch on:
  - what a srvtab is good for, how to get one, and how to use it
  - how to run linuxxdoom (well, maybe not.)
  - an overview (guided tour?) of the layout of the default Slackware
    filesystem ... this is something which mostly boggled me until
    after I had played around with it for a month or two, and is
    probably somewhat intimidating/overwhelming to new users....

I'd be interested in doing this...  How about a multiple-day series
of, say, 5 seminars?  We could do advocacy, basic installation,
advanced installation (X, (secure) network services, etc.),
Linux-Athena (maybe there will even be some third party software
and/or /srvd's by then), and...

What do people think?

I'm in a hurry now, so I didn't look through the schedule, but I thought
I'd drop you a note saying I'm interested in helping with the course.
