And then, you can give them one of the more important Linux lessons.
Let them install FreeNX, go to the website and see the completely
outdated docmentation.  Learning how horrible so much of the
documentation is, is probably an important part of being a Linux
administrator.  FreeNX, fortunately, has a CentOS wiki article, so let
them google for it. 

Not even being sarcastic here.  Lack of good docoumentation is probably
one of the biggest challenges facing the Linux user or
administrator.
