It really depends on your audience
Stuff likes trees might be essential for the point and click gifted.
Some batch processing examples are always good if people have to crunch
real data. It is always interesting watching the expression on the face
of some poor sod who has been (attempting to) crunch massive data on MS
OSs watch a 10K data points being crunched on unix, whilst you run
another couple of smaller similar jobs at the same time.
If you are going to demo X, demo one wm that looks like Win9x and tell
they have a choice of 20+ others.
Perhaps a list of*nix software for doing certain jobs.
