A Linux Admin's Guide to Windows?

Posted by Cliff on from the stranger-in-a-strange-land dept.

Rexburg asks: "I recently took a job managing an all Windows network. While my knowledge of the OS is enough to perform the functions of my job, I want to have my bases covered. Naturally, I began the hunt for documentation, but all I can find are books to help Windows users/admins understand and use Linux. I need the opposite. Can the Slashdot crowd point a fellow OSS-head in the right direction?"

    Really, my man!

    There is *nothing* you need to learn about windows systems. Gather together all your extensive knowledge & experience & put it all to use! Immediatly!

    In other words: Just use CygWyn.

    And may I be the first to wish you Luck on your new assignment.

    ( If all you have availible are windows tools, well, yer gonna need it. )
