Linux administration course outline

Hi all,

One of my friends, who runs a small IT training institute here, he asked me for suggestions for a comprehensive Linux system administration course outline for beginners assuming no experience, duration 3 months (total 72 hours), I can suggest the following:
Code:
1-  Linux/GNU History
2-  Linux Installation
3-  /proc, /sys structure
4-  Boot Process and SysV Init (LILO, GRUB, /etc/inittab, rc)
5-  Bash
6-  File Editing (vi, sed, awk)
7-  Post-Install System Configuration (RPM, CUPS, NTP)
8-  User Administration and NFS
9-  Filesystem Administration
10- Task Automation & Process Accounting
11- Client Networking (Routing tables, DNS, dhcp.conf, PPP)
12- The X Window System
13- Security Concepts
14- Linux Kernel Compilation

If I ask you the same question what you'll add or remove from the above list or how you'll rearrange the list and what Linux distro you'll recommend for learning purpose.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Regards,
Tayyab

XkbFreeGeomPoints(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					      XkbFreeGeomPoints(3)

NAME
XkbFreeGeomPoints - Free points in a outline SYNOPSIS
void XkbFreeGeomPoints (XkbOutlinePtr outline, int first, int count, Bool free_all); ARGUMENTS
- outline outline in which points should be freed - first first point to be freed - count number of points to be freed - free_all True => all points are freed DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents of a keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create or modify key- board geometries. Note that these functions merely allocate space for the new element(s), and it is up to you to fill in the values explicitly in your code. These allocation functions increase sz_* but never touch num_* (unless there is an allocation failure, in which case they reset both sz_* and num_* to zero). These functions return Success if they succeed, BadAlloc if they are not able to allocate space, or BadValue if a parameter is not as expected. If free_all is True, all points are freed regardless of the value of >i first and count. Otherwise, the number of points specified by count are freed, beginning with the point specified by first in the specified outline. RETURN VALUES
Success The XkbFreeGeomPoints function returns Success when there are no allocation or argument errors. DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage BadValue An argument is out of range X Version 11 libX11 1.6.0 XkbFreeGeomPoints(3)
