I am not impressed, I think it has a lot to do with classrooms. We don't meet online and discuss. No skype or any other form of online conformation of teamwork. I really like these posts and all the information it provides. I am a novice with linux, but feel my experience with vmware and the command line helps me often. <br/><br/>Keep the great comments coming !!<br/><br/>Oh yeah we are looking for great linux admins all the time !!!<br/><br/>Manny.
