I currently teach the class “advanced Linux” for the second-year students in the “Network administrator” course.

The best way to learn a new operating system is to get your hands dirty, but coming up with fun and practical exercises seem to be pretty hard. They already managed to install Drupal and Joomla on the self-deployed Apache server, but still the general “i-feel-at-home-here” feeling isn’t present yet.

I was wondering of some of you guys/girls know practical and “fun” ways to get better acquainted to the Linux way? I could then use them in my lessons and show them working with the console can be fun, flexible and powerful!

Thanks in advance ;)
