Err ... Exsqueeze me ... baking powder? Chris, What part of; I quote ... "I'm completely aware that you don't learn anything without doing it, and I have MANY Linux books for administrators which I have started to read already." Un-quote, don't you understand? I suggest you get to know me, and get to know the fact that I'm fully aware that I need to learn it thank you, that is blazingly obvious. And I will do, I asked for a favour, and for pointers to help me out in a situation I doubted my present ability in. Not to 'blag' my way into a position I couldn't hold. Just for the record, it appears I shouldn't have doubted myself as I've just made it to the last two and my final interview is on Tuesday (in ur face), I knew more about Linux than I thought. I'll take great pleasure in letting you know how it turns out. Either way. I really need advice like yours while I'm outta work, cheers. In fact no I don't suggest you get to know me actually, you probably won't like me 5 seconds after we meet. GOD some people are just so .... Grrrr ignorant!

Not wishing to be any ruder than necessary - if you want a job as a unix admin I suggest you get of your backside and learn about the platform, instead of expecting us to help you blag your way into a job you appear not to be qualified for.
