Ok. You didn't mention if this "Final year project" is for a certain class, an entire Linux administration course, or a whole career.
Assuming either of the first 2 options that I just mentioned, I would do 3 things integrated into one:
1) Set up a samba share that can be accessed from Windows / Linux / Mac boxes. Add screen caps from each system showing how it works. Consider the possibility of adding network printers as well using samba or cups.
2) Using network devices (such as printers and other Linux boxes), set up a NMS (Network Management System, such as JFFNMS, Nagios, Icinga, Zabbix, etc) to monitor those network devices.
3) Set up a firewall / proxy / mail server using iptables / Squid / Postfix.
Well, I think that would be it. Hope any of this helps Smilie.

NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset, which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8) program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation for the version that you are currently using. ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.
