I was on the bus home that perhaps a good starting point would be to cover
security through installation and the first boot. For example the
firewall, services, user configuration tools, the choices you have and
reasons to make your choices. After that, extending to core packages
directly involved with security and then to secure configuration of other
common core packages. I wasn't thinking of anything along the lines of
"linux security" or "general computer security" at least not in the
immediate future, I think that's too much of an under taking, and likely
to lose momentum.
