  1. I did not go to college... on System Administrators - College or Career? · · Score: 1

    Just after high school I started working in a small company. I had the chance to learn a lot about networking, linux, perl and had nice projects to work on. Now, 1.5 year later, I don't like doing the job any more. I had a great time there but now I am a litle bit bored.

    I am happy I did not choose to go to college. Because probably after a few years, I would come to the same conclusion as now and I lost some years.

    After working for some time I know much better what I want to study and do the rest of my life. And it's something completly different then being sysadmin.

    If you get a job, be sure you have experienced colleges who want to learn you the job. If you have the opportunity when doing an interview try talking to the techs about the job.

    Sorry for my bad English...

  8. The Dialog program + shell or perl script on Developing Attractive non-GUI Apps for Unix? · · Score: 1

    Try the dialog program in combination with a shell or perl script. It is almost standard on every linux distro. Very fast and easy but not usefull for complex tasks :-(
