Joe, A couple of comments about your rant. While I agree with what you in that if you are planning to do any kind of work, be it Network or Systems administration, you should be very familiar with the equipment you are going to support. There is no substitute for hands-on experience.
However, I side with the masses who do not put up servers at home and the ones who don't advocate it, simply because they do not want to endure a battle with an ISP. Certainly ISP's are beginning to block ports, and certainly, many of us have found very easy ways to bypass those restrictions, we must not forget though, by that time, we've now violated our Acceptable Use Policy with that respective ISP, not once, but twice (by defeating a security measure and running a server). Now, maybe I'm in the minority on this, but there are only two (major) broadband players in Baton Rouge and I'm not jeopardizing my account with my ISP, because I'm definitely not going to order a POTS line so I can have DSL.
