Now I'm a little different because I was over 40 when I started.
Did the midlife career change thing & took a Hell Desk job as a foot into the IT field.
Learned enough shell & PERL on my own to be able to script enough to improve the way things were done.
Showed the Powers That Be that the *NIX way just worked better.
Got put into a put up or shut up situation (migrating web servers to Apache) as a test.
Now I sit in a room full of blinky lights with a sign over the door that says "I'm root. You're not. Go away"
In my case the mere fact of my percieved maturity was a big boost because I didn't come across as a snot. That goes a long way in the business world
LILO has not benn *REPLACED* with GRUB. THe install will give you the choice to install/use either. The only thing they have done is to make GRUB the default. It's a simple matter of choosing to use it or LILO.
One thing to bee aware of. RMS takes one extreme end of the argument whereas Sun will take the opposite. In the end we'll find, like every other argument, the resolution will lie in the middle. Kinda like a bell curve.
