[Wolves] Kat Ideas for the moodle

[David Morley]

Being on linux now for nearly a year there are to me three base levels for 
learning.

1. Basic which could be a mini history (very mini don't bore people like 
some.)  Touch on the two main desktops and differences (kde and gnome).  
Link to a distro list site rather than cluttering up your space.  Discribe 
which distro your using for similarities sake, that way when I copy whats on 
the site it looks the same on my system.  Setting up a firewall and virus 
scanner and other basic stuff that is needed for good housekeeping and 
security.  (this section I mostly know apart from the firewall and 
viruschecker).

2.  Intermediate which is pretty much where I am now, where the advanced 
stuff is too advanced and the basic is too basic.  Here is where you could 
start with the learn basic programing and the different languages etc.  Also 
you could go into more depth on basics ie what ports do what how to renumber 
ports so they are more secure etc.  Different editors and their strengths 
and weaknesses.  Basic common Cli commands don't confuse the beginners with 
it let people from a windows enviroment get used to point an click linux 
first.(Cli might be better but to an ex windows user it is a step 
backwards.)

3.  Advanced which could be writing full blown programs more on how to use 
the different languages and their differences.  Layout and creation of 
websites using the variuos tools available from the easy editors 
(Openoffice/nvu) to the more advanced ones.  At which point anything could 
be added at this level because you already have the fundementals.
