Re: [PLUG] newbie


Alex:

I have been working with Linux on and off for acout four years. My primary job has required that I work primarily with The Evil Empire. SO when I was unemployed I started lookng more seriously at Linux and found similar frustrations. About 6 months ago I got a copy of Sybex, Linux for Windows Administrator and it has been an invaluable tool. I would highly recommend it for anyone familiar with the Windows environment and new to Linux.

The best way to get familiar with Linux is finding a job that will pay you to learn it :-)



I'd like to find one of those, Alex. Any suggestions? :-D


My first linux paying job was working/researching for a theoretical chemist. The guy I worked for is amazing at Chemistry but didn't like Linux. He hired me so he and his grad students could learn more about Chemistry and less about programming.

Then I sweet talked him into paying for a beowulf cluster and then I learned how to assemble computers AND run a beowulf cluster :-)
