I just recently finished a course on kernel programming from RedHat, and found it to a very good experience. The instructor was top notch, and while the course was 5 days of 8 hours each, we had plenty of time to get hands on experience with what we were being taught, and have any questions answered,
Since RedHat's development courses impressed me, I'd recommend considering their sysadmin courses for your purpose. Albeit, there is the issue that they will certainly be more RedHat centric in their teaching, but if that matches your environment, all the better.
Simple DB:
256 bytes of person's name
16 bytes of credit card number
16 bytes for a phone number
Oh, and just for fun, let's round that up to 1 KB to make sure that we cover the overhead of the DB infrastructure and the multitude of information I missed.
People are asking various questions like "Why wasn't it encrypted?" That's a pointless question. I want to know how on Earth you get 11 million customer records on to a single laptop in the first place.
Now please show me one laptop that *doesn't* have a hard drive that can hold a Database that size. It just doesn't seem to make sense any more.

1 KB * 11,000,000 customers = 11,000,000 kilobytes = ~10.5 gigs.
