Like the remote admin, think I might include that.

Brilliant idea, I'm not sure about the systems build bit seems to me
kids today are not that interested in building physical stuff and we
seem to be hurtling towards the "Throw it away and get another"
society anyway.

Now coding, networking ect will be fun you could chuck in some ssh
stuff and remote admin, do the old [shutdown -h now] routine on a
machine the other end of the classroom, "Ow'd you do that then sir?"

Good luck.

P.S. ruby-on-rails is the object of the Devil

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for
intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release
System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a
snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a
fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
