Why wait for something to be published when fresh information is available by the second on the internet?
If it's something old you need, chances are it's on the net as well!

On: How Did You Become a UNIX Administrator?

I played with AIX in an institutional setting years before, but never did anything serious with it. Then I moved to Boston one summer and decided I'd do Administrative Assistant work via a temp-agency. I got an interview at this one company, and once they saw I had networking and winblows skills, they hired me as a Systems Administrator. As the company grew, they introduced me to Linux, which I have to say changed my life. Ever since I've been doing various admin work across multiple platforms for a variety of companies in many locations!

I'm 23 now, and I started this rollercoaster ride when I was 21)

"go to the trouble of a kernel upgrade."

Trouble???

It takes about 1/2 hour to upgrade a kernel, the longest task is the compiling!
