unix sysadmin
There are several ways ( if you are motivated )
UNIX
Get the solaris 8 unix fundamental at
http://docs.sun.com
and download ( with autorisation code ) X86 solaris 8 at
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/
LINUX
Get a linux distr on a local ftp server
If you haven't used linux before start with mandrake ( I guess you are
using
linux for a while now because you are subscribed to this mailing list
:))
If you think you can manage a distr like debian or slackware, go for it.
by the way, you can find all linux docs, howto's etc on
http://www.linuxdoc.org
good luck.
greets,
Kim
