[TriLUG] essential Linux skills?

[Jimmy Dorff]

Are you teaching Linux user / application developer or Linux system 
administration ?  Both really need to start with a general UNIX 
proficiency.  I'll put in a plug for my alma mater and recommend this 
paper by Dr. Burg:

For system administration, I would encourage you too look at the LPI 
certification skills section.  It's a nice, well rounded list of topics 
and is not distribution specific.  http://www.lpi.org/en/obj_101.html
