True, but they're afraid of a new GUI. We need to show them that their
'skillls' transfer to the new system they're learning.

Been there. Done that. Deer in the headlights is what that'll get us.

I want to start these classes in X and slowly teach them command line stuff.
It's the same tack I use for 'intro to shell scripting', e.g. give them 3 or
4 command lines that build on each other. After they're familiar with running
them by hand ( it's better if you have them do it enough that they're tired
of running the commands ), have 'em shove the commands into a file, the use
"sh <filename>" to run it. *poof*, they're programmers ;-).
