I’m in the last stage of a 30 hours course I’m giving in sanidad (more precisely the department of health care of Valencian Community), and it’s requiring all my time and energy.
The attendees are government employees and, to my surprise, they’re very interested in the course: Linux administration.
Basically I’m trying to give a crash course to administering Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (eh, CentOS 5), without going too deep (skip SELinux!), but scratching the surface enough to let them make interesting things (use GUI tools as much as possible it’s a good rule of thumb).
Overall I think they’re very satisfied with the contents so far, and I like teaching, but I’m not a teacher in my everyday job: I don’t have enough stuff such as slides, laboratory exercises, etc; and that’s why I’m so busy and it’s being so exhausting.
Moreover it’s a very nice opportunity to do FOSS advocacy, and I’m trying to make most of it!
