    Is there any distro that doesn't provide kernel sources/compile configuration as well for their kernel images, in case you need to add functionality/tweak stuff?

    I need to recompile on every kernel security/bug fix but I use the sources/compile configuration from my distro with a couple changes to the config. It is not because I want to, it is because I need to.

    If you study management even a little, you realize that the best managers are expert in their respective fields.

    Did you visit the link I provided? The guy fits the bill and he was indeed a project manager. Of course I agree with what you wrote. I manage stuff that I know about. My head isn't inflated enough to pretend I can manage everything.

    I've worked with a lot of "plug-in" managers who never seem to know where to go or what to do. They take the opinions of their staff as gospel without adding their own expertise, and serve as a simple buffer between the workers and upper management.

    I like to say that those are just overhead.

    An acquaintance who is a manager once told me that he can manage anything because, well, managing is managing. Another one suggested to me when I was a teen to go study management because, well, managers will always be needed...

    Isn't that a little pretentious and old school like where the boss is the boss, doesn't matter if he is right or wrong or if he knows what he is talking about.

    Seems to me hard to understand how a manager can manage something he doesn't know anything about unless he has skilled technical assistants. But how will he evaluate the skills of his assistants? I suppose if the assistants tell him what he wants to hear, it might help.
