I agree with Eli on this point. I think this is a great lecture for SIL, but Eli's lecture was given not so long ago, and I feel there is a bit more to GNU and Linux than repeating topics in such a small time interval. Adir, If March (the next SIL slot) is too soon, we can schedule your IPtables lecture as a SIL lecture a bit afterwards, but May 31st is a date reserved for a "regular" lecture (veteran, advanced, new, whatever you may call it). However, since most of the Haifux "veterans" have already enjoyed Eli's lecture, and can go to the slides to refresh their memory (no need to hammer that info inside heads), I see no reason for a causing a drought of lectures (4 or 6 weeks between new topics).
