I had no formal UNIX training nor did I have a University education. I was always technically minded and installed Linux (a very early SUSE release) on a home system to play around with. I purchased a couple of UNIX books, and taught myself Linux and Solaris. Got my first break as a Junior admin by demonstrating my self-taught skills and knowledge at interview, and then just learnt on the job as well as building up a huge (O'Reilly) bookshelf and learning at home. I am now a Senior UNIX/Linux System Administrator looking after hundreds of Solaris and Linux systems for one of Australia's largest DNS/Web Hosting/Mail companies.

I suppose my points are:

* You can make anything you want out of your career if you're willing to work for it.
* You don't need formal training. If you have a passion for the field, and aren't just learning it to "get the job", you'll pick it up. UNIX is a hobby for me, not just a profession.
* It won't happen over night. I have years of experience under my belt, but never stop learning more. There'll always be someone who knows (much) more than you - learn from them - don't feel intimidated.

Just my 2 cents....

Cheers,
ZB

Dear all, I am facing a issue in MV command, this move is done by our c program. We are moving the file to same directory so basically I think it will be a rename of the inode. So we might not useany extra space then why the move is failing. Does it require space to move the same size of file...

FANN_GET_CASCADE_CANDIDATE_CHANGE_FRACTION(3)				 1			     FANN_GET_CASCADE_CANDIDATE_CHANGE_FRACTION(3)

fann_get_cascade_candidate_change_fraction - Returns the cascade candidate change fraction

SYNOPSIS

       float fann_get_cascade_candidate_change_fraction (resource  $ann)

DESCRIPTION

	The cascade candidate change fraction is a number between 0 and 1 determining how large a fraction the fann_get_MSE(3) value should change
       within fann_get_cascade_candidate_stagnation_epochs(3) during training of the candidate neurons, in order for the training not to stagnate.
       If the training stagnates, the training of the candidate neurons will be ended and the best candidate will be selected.

	It  means  that if the MSE does not change by a fraction of fann_get_cascade_candidate_change_fraction(3) during a period of fann_get_cas-
       cade_candidate_stagnation_epochs(3), the training of the candidate neurons is stopped because the training has stagnated.

	If the cascade candidate change fraction is low, the candidate neurons will be trained more and if the	fraction  is  high  they  will	be
       trained less.

	The default cascade candidate change fraction is 0.01, which is equalent to a 1% change in MSE.

PARAMETERS

	      o $ann
		-Neural network resource.

RETURN VALUES

	The cascade candidate change fraction, or FALSE on error.
