OK... I see your point. The tough question is how to put the silk gloves on,
The curriculum is such that they use Linux right from the start - that is,
they have to make their C and C++ programs run on our mainframe - and they
use a terminal windows to logon to that. Moreover, in their second semester

1. another KDE tip (please verify it works in current KDE systems):
there is a tool named 'klipper', which allows you to save the last 10
(or more) copied entries. whenever you copy something, it gets pushed
into klipper's window as well, and when you click on an entry in klipper
- it gets

I'd add something about the typing break feature - one of the lesser known
features of gnome.
Enable it in Keyboard preferences, and if you type for X minutes without
stopping, it will force you to take a break.
Sounded very ridiculous when I first saw it, but I once tried it and it
actually is
Excellent tip. I will add this one right away!

The choice of shell isn't the worst part (although, seriously... tcsh? holy
crap!). Read the assignment itself. A system to manage and analyze a list of
delay tickets for public transportation. Good idea for perl (which is
explicitly forbidden IIRC, as are sed and awk)? Certainly. But for tcsh?
I would add 2 useful commands:
ls -at will show the files sorted by time. The newest will appear first.
The second command that I highly recommend is for those who don't know which
command to apply. A highly educative learning tool. For instance
man -k directory will print all the commands
man -k is also known as apropos :)

I strongly agree with Dotan here,
Every single task a Linux user (user, not administrator) or even a
programmer will ever want to do, he can do it using GUI alone.
I believe that the perception that every Linux user needs to know how to use
the command line if he wants to use Linux is an archaic

I believe that a 2 way approach should appear in this wiki. The faster way
(e.g command line) and the 2nd way which is GUI. Most of the tasks mentioned
here can be done via gui as well. We can give them a way to choose what they
want. Advanced section as mentioned by Dave is fine.
