  1. Re:Difference in salary on Maine School & Linux · · Score: 1

    But, we are not talking about UNIX admins, we are talking about LINUX admins. Big diff, $ wise.

    Well first you learn to use the proprietary user administration tool of the UNIX vendor.

    Then you learn how to use the provided tar command instead of GNU tar.

    Then you learn the quirks of the HW, like hotswap.

    Then the slightly different filesystem tree.

    And then you get the applicable documentation.

    Bang, you are now a UNIX admin too!!

  9. Why not make a new company? on A Community Takeover of Mandrake? · · Score: 1

    Mandrake was doing fine until they brought in new management, that increased spending by 400%. Why don't the developers(ie. the pre new managemeng people) jump ship and start a new company that develops and sells Mandrake linux?

    It whould be perfect for the following reasons.

    The market is saturated with "community"-distros. That is distros by hackers for hackers. As we know hackers make hacker tools, ie. non newbie friendly stuff. What we need is a commersial entity that knows that the center of product quality is the customer. And the customer in this case is the newbie.
