It wasn't so long ago that I was in your position, hoping an employer would take a chance with me....
Almost all of my own Unix knowledge was self-taught by reading and by playing around on various Unix systems. If you are comfortable working with computers, you will probably be able to get up to speed as an intermediate Unix user pretty quickly, especially given your previous exposure. You will have to put in the time to do some reading, and of course have a machine you can access to practice and explore as you go...
As for the job, I think you should be honest with the potential employer about your skill level...you may find that they are willing to send you to a training class to get you up to speed. On the other hand, they might need someone who has more experience...it would be better to find out now, than 3 months from now in the CIO's office!
In summary: Go for it, be honest about your skills, but also be honest about your eagerness to learn...
Good luck.

Piano Booster is a fun way of playing along with a musical accompaniment and at the same time learning the basics of reading musical nota- tion. The difference between playing along to a CD or a standard midi file is that Piano Booster listens and follows what you are playing on a midi piano keyboard. The program has been designed to allow you to play along on a midi piano keyboard with the scrolling notes shown on the screen. The notes you press on the keyboard appear as coloured lines on the musical stave, the colour of which depends whether you have pressed the right or wrong note. A different musical instrument sound is used for your playing depending whether you are playing the right or wrong notes. This feature also allows Piano Booster to be used with printed sheet music so you can hear if you are playing the right notes while at the same time keeping your eyes on the printed score. The music accompaniment will automatically wait for you to find and play the correct notes in the piece. Timing markers show whether you are playing ahead or behind of the beat. They appear as white crosses that are drawn over the note. FEATURES
- Piano Booster follows you when playing along to a musical accompaniment. If you stop, then so does the music. - Play a single hand and Piano Booster will play the other hand, as well as the rest of instruments, in time with you. - Change the speed of playback to match your playing ability. - Transpose +/- 12 semitones without stopping the play back. - Change the Key Signature of the piece. - Plays any standard midi or kar file. - Play along to any instrument in the midi file. - Adjust the volume of the current part or the volume your piano part. - See how accurate you're playing. - Change the start bar to start playing from any bar in the music. The repeat bars allows you to practice just a few difficult bars contin- uously. - Timing markers are white crosses that are drawn over each note and show if you are playing ahead or behind the beat. - A different instrument sound is used for the right and wrong notes that you play.
