Volunteering wouldn't bother me but I guarantee it would be more work then
they bargained for to begin with!  I know how to login, logout, change
directories and list files.  Beyond that, I know how to find my manual (both
on the shelf and on the 'puter).

I have learned most of my computer skills on the job but it leaves gaps in
what you know and it takes too long when you need to be up to speed quickly.
I would prefer Linux but the Unix would be ok if that was my only choice.

I took my Novell training at Benchmark in Edina and thought they were really
good - I passed all my exams the first go.  I think they may be teaching
some classes on Unix but I think it is more specific, advanced stuff and I
don't know how good they are for Unix.

For slackware, RH or Dell???  Or (D), all of the above?  :-D 

Apparently the proxy/filtering software that our group of districts
purchased runs better on RH these days than slackware.  Which figures, since
I just bought a manual for slackware.  :(  But at least I won't have to run
it on a Windoze server.  (double yech!)
