What is a Good Text for 'Intro to Linux' Courses? 8
purpleduck asks: "I will be teaching an introductory college course in Linux this summer or fall. The idea is to introduce UNIX to the students using Linux. I think we will focus on the server side of things and will most likely use the Redhat distro. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good text?"

However, I don't think it's necessarily appropriate as an "Introduction to Unix via Linux" course. I'm not sure what is.

Seriously, you can use the arrow keys, it has a button bar with copy/cut/paste. It has a menu that covers the common editing tasks. gvim is probably as good.
gnotepad is rather friendly looking also but any proper intro course for Linux or UNIX should definitely point the users at emacs or vi.

It covers system admin from a multi-os perspective- linux, as well as freeBSD, and a couple of others, too, which I don't remember.
I've been a fan since the first edition, and can't wait for this one.
