Re: Careers in Linux
Hi
it depends what direction you're heading. if you want to join MIS or IT
departments then, there are issues that are much more important then C. you
should learn a lot(!!!) about networking, routers, firewalls etc... .
also, you should know at least perl and bash (or tcsh). knowing C could be a great
help, but I'm a unix administrator and I've never written a single line
in C (except "hello world" :-)).
another important thing is that I never met a "Linux" system administrator.
you should learn a lot about other unix based OS's as well. most
important are IRIX (in my opinion, the best) Solaris, FreeBSD etc...
Bye
