I like this idea, but I think you should work a bit of history/philosophy into each lesson by explaining why things work the way they do. The students are unlikely to engage with a history of a system they've never used before, so starting with that will lose their attention before you've even gotten it. Giving them a bit at a time means that they will slowly build a mental model of how *nix works and is built.
