I've indeed found that RHCE certification, alas, doesn't correlate very well with basic Linux knowledge. I might also point out that database administration is always a somewhat specialised area. No matter what *ix you've admined, when you suddenly find yourself in charge of a (serious) database's health, you have some reading to do. -- Cheers, Founding member of the Hyphenation Society, a grassroots-based, Rick Moen not-for-profit, locally-owned-and-operated, cooperatively-managed, [EMAIL PROTECTED] modern-American-English-usage-improvement association. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
