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?
