UNIX Database / Application Installation
Greetings, forgive me if this is listed in another thread somewhere, I am short on time.
I am being interviewed for the position of UNIX Database and Job code installer for a consulting firm. I have never installed or worked on a native UNIX system. I have been running Linux (RH,SuSE,Slackware) for close to five years. I have installed software, compiled drivers, installed MySQL, created DB's and imported and exported DB's. I have installed and troubleshot Perl, PHP, and MySQL error messages and sucessfully solved the problems. I have almost completely done all of this using command line interaction and conf editing.
My question is...
Does the experience that I have in Linux using these technologies provide me with the background needed to sucessfully install database and job code running on a UNIX system? I do not know what type of database system is being or the type of UNIX that is being run. Does the command line in UNIX vary drastically over the Linux bash command line?
My goal is to eventually become an UNIX admin. I just do not want to jump too far in to the deep end from the get go.
