In my case I sat next to the Jr. Sys Admin in a 4 man cubical. I had an
Associates Degree in Electronics and a lot of free time being a Lab Tech. I
spent 2 years reading everything I could about unix. I read all the manpages,
books, newsgroups, webpages, and magazines I could find until the Sys Admin
started asking me questions. Then when he left, he pointed to me to take over.
So here I am 5 years later a Sr. Admin teaching a Jr. Admin the ropes.
