I appreciate that, Steve. It's a bit more difficult for me because I'
not really a sysadmin. I'm a developer who's basically been forced into
the sysadmin position due to circumstances.
Fortunately there are good books, and reading this list has been a great
help. But some things I've found on the internet are problematical. I
take what I read from most sites with a grain of salt.
