I dunno what you have already, but I would suggest things like "the unix
way" of doing things, the different file systems and the ideas behind it.
If they are windows users you can relate it to their existing knowledge.
Compare the registry and the config file idea.
Also compare things like macro kernel and micro kernel ideas perhaps. Tho
some more knowledgeable people will tell me its an outdated idea, i still
think it helps explain simply some of the differences.
maybe also compare unix/linux. - a good time to plug Free Software :)
Then i guess you need to move onto actually moving around and using unix.
You should be able to start at the begining with this and try to end at the
end :)
hope that helps ....
