Hi all,
This is probably off-topic but i'm seeking advice about "how can i get 30 students to get a hang of linux system administration while loving it"
make it fun? ..
though imo, dont bother in getting all of em to "get the hang of it while loving it" .. it just wont work that way .. different ppl have different interests
getting 10% of them is already good
They seemed to not remember what i had taught, even the simplest thing like removing a line while using vim. One thing that i realized that most of them, especially the boys are pretty must hyped when i taught to gain remote access to another fedora system with ssh client and you can bet that they had tried to reboot that ssh server.
theres this pattern of "i-want-to-be-a-cracker" among students .. stuff like getting root and getting remote access tend to give the high for bunch of em ..
Still searching the net about labs related to linux sysadmin and if anyone want to share their idea, just reply to this post, don't be shy ;)
my usual way is to identify the talents and try to brush up his/her skills and bring him/her to be involved with the community
