So looking that this, the IT 2008 curricula is the closest to what I would consider System Administration. As for me, I am a self taught system admin as my background is in Physics. I started out as a manufacturing R&D engineer who kept fixing computers on the side and it grew into a full time career. cheers, ski _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
