Subject: Re: Why should we teach students Linux??

How about instruction on how linux can be configured as a router
or firewall or invisible proxy...various network tasks?

Can also run various inexpensive network server functions:
samba(cifs/smb), squid(reduce network traffic or as accelerator
for websites)...tons of usages in a network.  It's an all purpose
"swiss army knife".   You can examine the various network layers,
support for various networked file systems.  How can you setup
a small departmental cifs/smb/nfs and printer server with linux?
How about recreating "Google?"  Don't they use linux to create their
portal/indexing?  How to create a high-performance computing cluster
on your network?

Is that the type of stuff you are looking for?
