Cool.

While I'm dealing informally with a younger layer of people, my
inclination has been to start with a series of traditional unix tools,
and elaborate the toolbox approach from there.

In one case, it works parallel to someone using a BSD laptop for email,
www, etc, as an end user.

I also think that for a younger audience, a lot of standard unix intros,
ls, everything is a file, this is cat/less/more, pipes are your glue,
etc, provide decent guides.

At this level, I think the type of unix is almost irrelevant.. I mean,
posix-compliance and package systems are further down the road.

Nick: is your curriculum online somewhere?
