I'd have to somewhat agree with that, but not so strictly. I definitely learned a lot from doing a stage1 install and being an early 2001 RC Gentoo user. Another good interview question though is to ask your candidate to name as many two character unix commands in one minute. See how many they get and compare that result against the others :-) -- Kristian Erik Hermansen "Know something about everything and everything about something." --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
