When it comes to Linux, Read the Manual
,----[ Quote ]
| So Windows XP is riding off into the sunset (well, it will be a long ride
| since Microsoft will offer support through 2014.) But now there's a debate
| running throughout the Web and in the market now as to whether the Vista
| hatred that continues to build will lead to quicker adoption of Linux.

What is the best way to learn Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| I think that the point raised is valid. Because as users we mainly want
| something that works. We want something quick. What we need to learn that
| from the questions that we ask today are things that we need to build upon.
| If we think that we only ask other people to fix our problems, then we won’t
| grow in knowledge. And that seems futile doesn’t it?
|
| Not everyone has the patience to learn through reading man pages. But we need
| to do that. There are other learning materials now.

The Best Way To Learn Linux

| Dan uses the famous quote “give a man a fish and he will have food for one
| day, teach the same man how to fish and he will have food for his entire
| life” which really does make sense in relation to learning Linux.

Linux Is Supposed To Be Easy?
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is extremely powerful, robust and flexible, which means it must have a
| significant amount of complexity. Do you think I learnt everything in a day?
| I don't know who told you Linux was easy, many times other people make it
| harder than it has to be by thinking they need to understand everything at
| once.

How Linux make me have a painful day (or why i hate windows)
,----[ Quote ]
| Today at work (where i can’t use linux) i was asked to do a really easy and
| repetitive task: Take screenshots from an e-learning course and paste it with
| the content text on a text document.
|
| [...]
|
| The good thing: Now i have some complainings to say to windows user when they
| start saying: “You need to make it that way in linux?”

Advice for the MCSE: go back to school
,----[ Quote ]
| Number one on that list is a simple reality: everything changes, and by
| betting against industry wide change you’re leaving yourself, your family,
| and even your community hostage to Microsoft’s continuing commercial success.
|
| [...]
|
| Not many people like Microsoft - and there are better alternatives: Linux on
| the server side, MacOS X on the user side.
|
| Is it going to happen tomorrow? Probably not, but it will - and when it does
| a lot of today’s MCSEs will be caught out: essentially unemployable in
| comparable professional roles without significant, unanticipated, and
| uprooting personal change.

| The Scary World of Linux Computers.
|
| Dunkelberger likely wasn't intending to suggest that the iPhone was
| running Linux, but instead that it is a full computing environment
| with multiple vectors for potential exploits to attack. It is
| interesting that he brought up Linux however, because it is a scary
| subject for IT staff beholden to Microsoft.
|
| The majority of Microsoft oriented corporate IT staff I've worked with
| have a sort of reverential fear of Linux. They like to talk about it
| in a respectful sort of way, but they are often afraid to actually use
| it. Deploying a Linux server without an outside support agreement is a
| very scary task to users who have felt safe for years in their
| codependent relationship with Microsoft.

2007: Where the Tech Jobs Are
,----[ Quote ]
| ...open source and Linux skills are very hot. "Linux is one of the fastest
| growing, if not required, then recommended skills that most of the
| sysadmins and operations people have," Melland says. "If you're a systems
| administrator and you don?t have Linux experience, you might want to seek
| that out."
|
| [...]
|
| All this migration to Linux and open source means that job openings are
| zooming. Based on Dice statistics, Linux as a recommended skill is up 51%
| this year, and roughly 150% in the last two years.
