One thing I could suggest is providing them with some reading/reference material. I know there are some free ebook type things out their focusing on the basics of linux, etc. You might also get some ideas from I think the site is called opencourseware. If memory serves me correctly there is an organization offering free linux training that would be a start to prepare you for the LPI exam. I can't recall the agnecy name but I read about it in Linux Format....they may have something on their webpage. You could also add some information about certifications as a way to legitimize the idea of why Linux. Certification of various sorts seems to be all the rage nowadays.
If I can fidn more details on what I suggested I will send you an email. On 14-07-28 04:00 PM, caziz wrote: > Still seems ambitious for Grade 10. > > Suggest Mint 17 as LTS or Ubuntu.
