[Scale-planning] Your Input needed!

[Mike Stewart]

I really like the idea.  Some additional suggestions that I think should at
least be covered at a high level ... as they are foreign concepts if coming
from a Windows only world:

*  Obvious commands for help, but not if you're noob:  info info &/or man
man ... and other basics of bash
*  Why and how sudo & sudo su
*  Overview of must know (they exist) utilities:  man, top, nano, w, tar,
ps, df/du, find, grep, sed/awk, etc.
*  Common gotchas: How to close man, vi, etc, and other weird linux
keystrokes. How to use *fg* if you hit CTRL-Z to "undo" then shell program
seemingly exits. (common in nano/vi).
*  File systems & fstab overview PLUS mounting local partitions / network
drives (sshfs or gvfs)
*  Basics of backups + recovery (both server / desktop as strategies might
differ).


Take what you like, leave what you don't, but hope it helps!
