Where to learn Linux?

[Etzion Bar-Noy]

Kids will always be kids, and there will always be competition.
I think competition is good. Otherwise - go be a Cobol developer. No
competition there, you know. Not in five years time, when everyone who knows
something will retire.

Linux is a dynamic and evolving profession. It gets more and more into the
core systems of companies' infrastructure. It becomes, well, a commodity OS.

There is always a shortage of excellent people. Moderate, you'll find
anywhere you look. Good you'll find some. Excellent - hardly ever. These
people get nice jobs, and get a whole selection with their price tag, be it
high (well, reasonable, but high).

Be a Linux sysadmin. Be a good Linux sysadmin, think like you should in a
corporate, but have the spark to rethink old concepts and force others
around you to think of them (don't nag, though), to examine them. See that
corporates (in Israel, in particular) are very conservative, and very
slow-moving, and think of how, with OSS technologies, you can make things
better, more efficient, more manageable, but still - make it fully
documented, make it fitting to a corporate and fully usable to the person
who would be there after you. Be excellent, and I tell you - I would be
happy to employ you myself.
