UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Who in here works as an Unix administrator? I currently finishing up my BS Technical Management and im considering going into Unix base environment, if anybody is already in the field what do you recommended for a fresh meat like me, i currently studying to go for my solaris 10 certification as well.

I'm in the field and I don't really have any certifications to speak of. I did some extensive Solaris sanctioned training courses a few years ago to get a serious hold on an enterprise UNIX OS.

My advice would be to try to get as much experience with the most common things in the UNIX profession, whether it's professional or personal. Things like best practices, OS builds, hardening, filesystem and user management, troubleshooting. You can also start learning about common applications and software packages like Apache, BIND DNS, Sendmail, etc.

Most of the interviews I've been on, it really didn't matter what I had professional experience with, as long as I could demonstrate an ability to learn the required specifics and was enthusiastic about the work.

this one is very good, we use it for corporative training
