Looking for suggestions for content. We already have:
- samba (client & server)
- NFS (server)
- All about SSH
- user & group administration
- software installation and patching
? - basics of BIND
Your suggestions?
A lot of the new Linux admins may also be web designers and content people who are starting with running a web site on a VPS, excuse me, "in the cloud" if you want today's marketese for it. So maybe "for Windows users" is making it a little narrow--a lot of the non-Linux web people no more Windows-aware than I am.
Samba -- is that still a thing? (I know it is, but it seems like more and more places are using sharing services such as Dropbox and Basecamp instead of network drives.)
I would suggest something on "system explorastration" -- figuring out what's running on the box and how to turn it off if necessary. Package manager and nmap for sure, and at least enough git to follow projects you're interested in using and keep track of your notes and scripts. Also, how to tell if your system has systemd, upstart, or old-school init, and where to go for more information on controlling them (probably can't cover all three in one short class.)
