Topics for a Linux intro course
+1 for the FOSS philosophy and why that's important when it comes to privacy (ie closed source crypto implementation back doors etc) + full system control, lack of spyware etc. KVM for the VM demo - keep it Linux, right? Introduce the concept of how almost everything in Linux is a file and can be read from / written to. This is important when understanding pipes. Show pipelines - logical && ie cat x | grep y | grep z. Logical || ie grep -E 'x|y|z' Useful commands like top and ps. Explain selinux and why it's a good idea.

Question about gre tunnels
Reply in thread
gre implies you want to run dynamic routing over the tunnel but no routing is configured? If you don't need dynamic routing (why would you on a P2P tunnel?) but do want privacy then use IPsec or SSH instead?

Given the Tory demographic, most of them probably won't make it to the next election so the longer Richi holds out the better. Perhaps a care assistant could help if wasn't for the rabid right saying we don't need carers as a priority group. Imbeciles.
