YOU defend Linuxgruven! Ha...What actual contact or inside info do you have that qualifies you to do such. OOHH! I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but the bottom line is , your retoric is all to common among people who have little knowledge and too much time to display it.As for my background and qualifications...You should be so lucky. There was never a need to follow the MS hype..."Be Prepared" not 'Prepare to Be'. As for McD's... sounds like you've been sending out resumes.Don't care for 'em
much myself!

Where did it say they had no experience? They may be new to Linux but, I guess you feel that all other experience doesn't count. These clients that call or ask for assistance, what OS do you think they migrate from? These employees came from that very background and who better to help than someone with HANDS ON experience and knowledge with that system. Sure, their still a WIP when it comes to Linux and in time (according to your life experience) they will be professionals..if we use your scale of standards. Speaking of horrific turnover... it's hard to control human nature, especially due to poor study habits or learning skills. Tests are supposed to be hard. It makes some people study.If they where easy, everyone would be flying planes..isn't that a scary thought? Also, victory by attrition wasn't a "DARWINIAN PROCESS"....get real!
Read the WHOLE message before you rant...you as well as the "newbies" had to start some where. I will agree with one point, training isn't the answer, it's a start and experience is the great equalizer,but don't "diss" someone if they have the tenacity to try.
They probably continue to learn..isn't that part of the human growth process? Oh, I see what's wrong. You're "miffed" because ALL your hard work
towards a cert and a new career hasn't gotten you jack! Or, is it the fact that, your MANY (lol) years of Linux experience has made you diconnected from the rest of mankind to the point you can't stand these new "zelots" jumping on the Linux bandwagon? I'm sure the company would love to hire guru's but, since there seems to be a lack of them looking for "gainful" employment, they do the next best thing...They take people with computer knowledge/experience and train them in the ways of Linux in the hopes of turning out potential employees that are knowledgable AND certified. The continued on-the-job training and learning justifies their income,future increases,and advancement.. reguardless what you may think.
The Linux community thrives on new talent and welcomes it with great anticipation, unlike the ney-sayers, such as yourself, who hide behind ANONYMOUS COWARD accounts on this site.It should read IGNORAMOUS ACCOUNT! Have a nice life!
