First off, a non-technical idea would be great. You can focus on licensing, basic designs, etc... BTW, I don't like the "Core" name. Why not something like "Linux Concepts and Foundations" (LCF*)? Or similiar? I'd normally use "Professional," but that has a technical connotation. -- Bryan -- Bryan J.
