School kids and undergraduates are a captive audience that can be tortured ;^) Seriously, the stuff in the introductory objectives is nice and important but office/web/email-type »users« can go through a long and fulfilling life perfectly well without any of this, just like they do on other operating systems that may not even come with the tools we're talking about here. With current general-utility Linux distributions they never actually need to touch a shell, so the content of the objectives goes right past them. (On the other hand, I'd expect budding *system administrators* to do whatever it takes to pass LPIC-1, at least, and not bother with the introductory certificate.) School kids and undergraduates, however, are used to learning things that are character-building and do them good in the long run even if they can't see their point and hate them when they do need to learn them. This serves as an automatic excuse for shell commands, regular expressions, etc. Anselm (speaking for himself) -- Anselm Lingnau ... Linup Front GmbH ...
