I was once just like you. I was a restaurant manager. and landed a job at a university, doing hardware support. while i was there i spent most of the time playing around with the system that the hardware ran off of.. i never really understood what i was doing..
it was an HP-UX system. I was never trained and just figured things out as i needed to....
a couple of years later I figured that i could do this unix stuff for a living so i got a job with the people we had gotten the hp system from.... after a week of real unix work i realized that i wasted 2 years doing nothing...
I have never liked another OS since.. at my job we call unix DOS for adults.....
go and get some books. and start messing around.. the key is to have a direction to what you want to learn.... after a year of hard core unix support i have started into scripting........ I have had no formal unix traning of any kind and i can manage to pull it off..
if you want to spend the $$ there is a place in town called
GE - Access. they are downtown i believe. take the sysnet 1 & 2 classes... once you get used to HP-UX.. dont spend the $$ on the fundimental class.....you can learn that on your own...
GE access is who HP sends you to if you sign up for training.
hope this helps
