Hi Peter My suggestion would be to cover everything needed for a Red Hat or Solaris certification.
Certification is king in this part of the world, so if you could run a course that leads students to a nice certificate on the wall, that'd probably be most relevant! I expect Amazon has lots of Red Hat or Solaris certification books whose content you could follow. I know Solaris is not Linux - I'm simply mentioning it as Solaris admins in the region still get paid significantly more than Linux admins in general, as Solaris is much more entrenched in telco and finance. As this is a school course and therefore expected to be useful for later employment, considering Solaris might be a good idea. Chris Peter Heath wrote: > > > Hi Todd, and thanks for replying.
