That's exactly right, inspite of your sarcasm, it is true: they're PhDs, scientists, hackers, not engineers. Academia always made for poor engineers, because they were out of touch with reality, out of touch of how things are done and run in the real world. I remember when I was taking my advanced C programming course years ago: my teacher had completely different ideas about coding than what we were actually doing in the industry (I had already been working for a software company for a few years). And although she knew her stuff with respect to materia, it took several lectures by me to bring her up to speed on how things are done in the real world. If we didn't face the academia problem today, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. There are no competent UNIX people coming out of academic institutions because the academia is incapable of educating them. It's a disaster. > Seriously though, Solaris admins have a horrible reputation among the > open-source community. Some of the statements, are "arrogant", > "unfriendly", and "closed-minded". (At least those Solaris Admins who > haven't switched to Linux yet.) I used to be a Linux system engineer. I would never do that again, and thankfully, because there is Solaris, I don't have to. _________________________________________________________________ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+world&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE_______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
