Great video! Thanks for allowing your presentation to be online.

I'm currently developing the course material for two advanced Linux/Unix system administration classes, and I appreciate what you're doing. In my case the students' VMs are not powered on 24x7, so I need to tailor my material accordingly.

The idea of giving real life tasks is key. One of my primary goals is to ensure students know what documentation is available, how to sort out potentially misleading sources (you'd be surprised how many times students take the first answer from a Google search), and how to find answers for themselves. As a former instructor taught me, you don't need to know all the answers, you just need to know where to find them.

Great article! I just bought my first pi, a B+, and I still haven't decided whether to use Debian or Fedora. I plan to use it as a DHCP and DNS server, since I am sure it has a very short boot time.
