Basic could be a good thing to get more people to meets. The frustrating thing about Linux is trying to find good documentation to get things setup with minimal fuss. I think it would be a awesome idea for somebody to do a series of talks on setting up your own server. Covering topics such as installation, partition options such as lvm,raid. Followed by package configuration, how to manually setup I.P details / how to administrate remotely i.e ssh / tiger vnc. Then the next talk could be on essentials commands and basic cron, bash scripting then have another talk which explains how to configure and maintain services such as Apache, bind, Samba. Then have a final talk on routine matienance and administration of the server. For people who are getting there feet wet with Linux this would be
