Well I tend to agree with you, but for a couple of other reasons:
a) it's seriously old school. For instance, I've never once used nroff or groff and have never had a reason to. This list, however insists that nroff is an essential part of one's progress along the path to becoming a UNIX wizard...almost some sort of rite of passage. Pheh! Unless I'm missing something really rudimentary (always a possibility with me), it's not that common anymore.
b) networking of any kind really isn't even mentioned in this list, and a modern UNIX pro has to know tons and tons of networking (at least according to 9 out of 10 UNIX jobs I see posted every day)
c) it's a C programmer's list more than anything else (i mean, c'mon, csh?)... knowledge of which was probably more valid >5 years ago, but isn't such a
sine qua non anymore...
That's just my opinion though. I guess that b/c I came from GNU/Linux originally it's easy for me to see it this way. It could be b/c I'm also a newbie myself. (proven by the fact that I don't use nroff
).
