As to what they might want, I can guess. Since they are just starting or just about to start a first time admin course, I would think basic admin issues like cron job setup, user and group permissions, samba, network printing. Journalled file systems is not bad either. Short is good. Alan plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us wrote: I could do a 10 - 20 min piece on a few topics. Intro to journalled filesystems, e.g. what is a journalled filesystem, jumps to mind. After the presentation we could take comments from the peanut gallery about the different journalled filesystems available for Linux. I can do a variety of other sys_adm topics. Anything in particular they'd like to see? The key is probably keeping it down to 10 or 20 minutes this month. ciao, der.hans -- # http://home.pages.de/~lufthans/ http://www.DevelopOnline.com/ # Science is magic explained. - der.hans ________________________________________________ See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail.
