Hi, I would also prefer a few questions about essential "methods" not specaly based on C but for example:
Whats the difference between ,,poll'' and ,,select''? I mean, michael schumacher (i don't like him that much but... for an example he'll good enought :)) knows about a motor how it works etc. Maybe he don't know how to install a camshaft but he know for what it is and how it works :) I'm also not THAT C god but most "good" or "better" admins I know also have knowledge about C... There are also python, bash, php programmer or people who doesn't have any knowledge about a language under it but its more an "administrative bruteforce" to see how this people admin a system. I don't want to insult someone, I'm sure there are some good admins that doesn't have any knowledge about a system near programming language... but it's more the "how it works" instead of "how i can use it" knowledge... Most people who have learned C (i dont mean this people who code an calculator in C++/Console and don't wonder why this thing have 15mb!), have also learned to solve problems systematicaly and structured. Just an example from my history... there are some webservers, having each a load from 20.0 arround (dual CPU) with 150 - 200 http connections each... so what was the solution? setting up two new webservers and putting them into the loadbalancer. There was no deeper look why this webservers running bad or something like that... _______________________________________________ BSDCert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
