then why do must servers run linux ?

 

what certifications do you have

 

Oh no....

 

...in the last week i've seen more threads turn into arguments. Grow up guys and respect others opinions, please!

 

Durn right, simple no fluff.

Most servers don't run linux. In fact, in 2005 Windows topped Unix (just barely) in server sales. Linux took a distant third. I haven't seen a total install base figure, but I would assume UNIX systems are still on top, followed by Windows and linux bringing up the rear.

Lots. 90% are worthless and I don't even mention them anymore. Many have also expired. I'm at the point certs don't mean much to me anymore, the resume & my experience do the talking.

 

and linux is based on what unix so they got #1 and #3

 

Awesome logic dude. Wow.

 

sorry i just like linux alot. i thing you will agree that if it was not for linux microsoft would not try as hard and would not spend as much money building there os. i bet if it was not for linux we would still be running the windows 9x kernel. remember how bad windows me was. i just think linux keeps microsoft on there toes

 

I'm not getting into a tit-for-tat argument over qualifications. I'm pretty confident in my qualifications and I'm also pretty confident I should probably be holding the router's box while Dzervit installs it. Trust me when I say he knows his stuff.

Congrats on your A+. While I agree with Dzervit that it really is worthless in the IT world, it shows you have at least some book smarts.

I've held Certs and let them expire, I'm getting a degree for the paper, it too will mean nothing.

Your statements about Windows 2000, the Linksys router, and Linux installed base show that you need to really get into the industry a little better.

I think you just need more exposure to the real IT world.

The blanket statements you are making are just not accurate.

Disclaimer: For those sensitive about "arguments" this is not an argument, unless you define that as a difference of opinion.

 

Of course competition keeps MS on their toes, but at the same time I highly doubt if not for Linux we'd still be running Win95.

A lot of linux guys are ga-ga over their O/S. Just as bad as those Mac people. Step back and look at the big picture without the linux blinder glasses on.

Vader, my coffee needs a refill.

I should also add the congrats on the A+ thing. Vader is right, it shows some motivation to advance yourself. That's a good thing. Keep learning, training, and move up the cert food chain until you don't need 'em anymore.

 

Well, I'm absolutely done with IT.

I am treading water in my current position just long enough to get my PMI and PMP and then going into a different field.

I will be a simple user from now on. I have enough "know how" to get me by on my own, I am done fixing chit for other people and getting nothing in return.

I don't enjoy coming to work anymore, and we all know what that means.

 

Umm....Jamz...you weren't ever in IT


Oh and D....I just said the Box...get your own dang coffee...

Until I grow breastesses I ain't getting nobody coffee

 

OH SNAP!


That's good stuff right thar...
