I like the plug group, why try to chime in when I can. Some

My first exposure to unix was in 99, my first tech job, we had a
solaris shell account on our network management server to hit
everything we wanted in an isp network. In 2000 at a new job, I
learned what linux was with some coworkers teaching me linux and
solaris simultaneously, and installed slackware on my server for
years. It served me well for years, breaking, rebuilding, learning,
and other things that acquainted me to the experience. Learning linux
prepared me for the future, learning other distros and cross-linux
disciplines to be somewhat productive in an industry even if not a
system administrator or anything in particular. I do mostly network
and security, and linux rules these, even if vendors name themselves
as something else, they all end of day run linux, which at least lets
you know where they and you subsequently live.
Learning never goes out of vogue, keep doing it. Even windoze. I'd
suggest even if pirating (or pay cheaply [1]) a copy of windoze server
learning Active Directory and other windoze things to boot. At this
point, you'll never escape windoze. Funny now that microsoft's best
selling platform *is* linux now, but still good to know both worlds as
they become inseparable.

Windows is everywhere. Run what works best. How far the community has
come. I think most hate M$. 20 years ago you would have got some
heated push back (flames) for your Windows comments. Good that the
community is becoming more understanding.

from you over the years I was able to open a terminal and to run apt
and find out what was wrong. It urns out one of the packages had
unmet
dependencies. Luckily the problem was easily resolved by installing
the package (apt-utils) separately. I didn't have to waste anyones
time aside from the time it takes to read this message of gratitude.
