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
