UNIX admins are a rare breed of people, I hope you have what it takes. First of all stop using linux, linux is a disease and is breeding dipshits that think because they can now double click in a unix like environment that they are now unix gurus (linuxisforbitches.com) I have been working in a 24/7 fast passed data center for quite some time now and the only customers that get hacked or go out of business are those that are running linux......get it out of your system. A sysadmin knows Solaris and sun hardware if you don't know sun you will never be more than a linux bitch that is made fun of when your back is turned. Go to suns site and get a few admin and Solaris classes under your belt. Grab a sun box, build it out and get down. If you don't have a sun box i may be able to set you up with one fairly cheep. (50.00) Keep on writing the code C and C ++ is great but it rarely does a sysadmin a shit bit of good know PERL, SED AWK, and vi and a few shell inside and out (ksh, csh, sh, bash) Know about backups tar, legato, veritas, read the DNS and bind book, might wanna read the bat book to for sendmail, core internet protocols is top shelf read for any sysadmin, get the essential system administration book. These i believe are all oriely books and are fairly cheep. Know BSD like a mother fucker (its where you really should earn your wings)makes you look like you have been around for a while. Get down with apache, NFS, SSH use the command line for everything, oh and stop using linux! I personally have a degree in computer science and one in liberal studies. In this climate there are a lot of really experienced people out of work so the competition is tough! You need to have about a dozen systems in your pad to start setting up stuff on. You need to know about routing, sub-netting, switching and how to trouble shoot oh and keep in mind that these are all skills of a junior level sysadmin. Oh, did i mention you should stop using linux you may wanna pick up a firewall book to. SUN because the rest is for pinheads and wannabes. www.sun.com no i don't work for sun. beav3r
