Thanks:) I know I'd have to double check with other SA's when I actually start the job. What I'm trying to do now is start learning as much about Unix as I can and figuring things out. It's okay to...

I was guessing things wouldn't be the same administering a personal Linux/Solaris vs dealing with the issues on large Unix systems. Basically, I'm just trying to get started with learning about Unix....

Hi,
I'm exploring a few different careers( Unix System's Admin, Network Engineer, and Unix System's Engineer). I asked in another thread about System's Admin, so I have some more info on that...
