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....

Hi,
Ok zazzy bob after reading your posted thread, it has no doubt that you could get what you wanted to, but actually as i earlier posted my thread for the first time on this Forum. Although i didn't have an idea that i don't have to mention my cell nor my email which by mistaken happened for which i am sorry to pressy probably the Moderator.
You mentioned that you didn't have any educational training, well it is highly motivated myself, but here the scenario is totally change. Simultaneously i am running my Job & part time my University regular classes and after that you know that once couldn't do other things. So therefore i searched out allot and could streamline that i have to line up my career coz only taken the Degree/Diploma/Certificate couldn't enough for once to be an expert or could even start on work.
All i want is on your part and as you mentioned allot which appreciably boost my moral, just give me a plan to be managed while keeping in view the scenario.
I would remain awaiting for your favorable response (All the Feasibility = PC Unix-Installation upto Network) in order to get started my work from the scratch to grip on UNIX.
I hope you could understand and getting my point.

net::dns::question5.18
Net::DNS::Question(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::DNS::Question(3)
NAME
Net::DNS::Question - DNS question record
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS::Question;
$question = new Net::DNS::Question('example.com', 'A', 'IN');
DESCRIPTION
A Net::DNS::Question object represents a record in the question section of a DNS packet.
METHODS
new
$question = new Net::DNS::Question('example.com', 'A', 'IN');
$question = new Net::DNS::Question('example.com');
$question = new Net::DNS::Question('192.0.32.10', 'PTR', 'IN');
$question = new Net::DNS::Question('192.0.32.10');
Creates a question object from the domain, type, and class passed as arguments. One or both type and class arguments may be omitted and
will assume the default values shown above.
RFC4291 and RFC4632 IP address/prefix notation is supported for queries in both in-addr.arpa and ip6.arpa namespaces.
decode
$question = decode Net::DNS::Question($data, $offset);
($question, $offset) = decode Net::DNS::Question($data, $offset);
Decodes the question record at the specified location within a DNS wire-format packet. The first argument is a reference to the buffer
containing the packet data. The second argument is the offset of the start of the question record.
Returns a Net::DNS::Question object and the offset of the next location in the packet.
An exception is raised if the object cannot be created (e.g., corrupt or insufficient data).
encode
$data = $question->encode( $offset, $hash );
Returns the Net::DNS::Question in binary format suitable for inclusion in a DNS packet buffer.
The optional arguments are the offset within the packet data where the Net::DNS::Question is to be stored and a reference to a hash table
used to index compressed names within the packet.
name
$name = $question->name;
Internationalised domain name corresponding to the qname attribute.
Decoding non-ASCII domain names is computationally expensive and undesirable for names which are likely to be used to construct further
queries.
When required to communicate with humans, the 'proper' domain name should be extracted from a query or reply packet.
$query = new Net::DNS::Packet( $example, 'ANY' );
$reply = $resolver->send($query) or die;
($question) = $reply->question;
$name = $question->name;
qname, zname
$qname = $question->qname;
$zname = $question->zname;
Canonical ASCII domain name as required for the query subject transmitted to a nameserver. In dynamic update packets, this attribute is
known as zname() and refers to the zone name.
qtype, ztype
$qtype = $question->qtype;
$ztype = $question->ztype;
Returns the question type attribute. In dynamic update packets, this attribute is known as ztype() and refers to the zone type.
qclass, zclass
$qclass = $question->qclass;
$zclass = $question->zclass;
Returns the question class attribute. In dynamic update packets, this attribute is known as zclass() and refers to the zone class.
print
$object->print;
Prints the record to the standard output. Calls the string() method to get the string representation.
string
print "string = ", $question->string, "
";
Returns a string representation of the question record.
