If you want to start off as a UNIX administrator. you might read MCSE Networking Essentials - OSI model etc etc Read about TCP/IP Install FreeBSD/ NT/ Novell NEtware whatever at home Subscribe to a Networking mailing list- On Fri, 12 May 2000, David wrote: > This does not truly pertain to FreeBSD in itself, for which i do > apologize, I'm re-posting this from another list I belong too, for the > purpose of getting a larger response base. > > Thanks... > > > > Hello Everyone; > > > I'm putting this out in the hopes that some of you could help me in > making a decision regarding the most appropriate facility to attend with > regards to Computer Studies. > > Due to many variables at the present time, it is unlikely that I will be > able to accomplish certain goals I had set my sights on, so I have > decided I may as well take the plunge and go back to school. > > It is obvious to me, after spending some time reading The C Programing > Language, and the fact that cryptology has been a sort of "hobby" in a > general way, as well as my passion for computers and the technology > behind it, that grows every increasingly everyday, that there is so much > more involved with the underlying technology behind computers that I > wish to explore, and simply learning how to program in a particular > language, or any language for that matter, which in itself is quite > gratifying once the skill is learned, would not accomplish what it is I > am after learning. > > So after years of back pedaling, excuses etc etc..., I'm trying to find > an appropriate facility where I may accomplish the above.
