When I took the Unix Admin position where I work now it sort of went like this.
They gave me a workstation, direct root access to all servers and routers in the network and more or less said have at it and thats what I have been doing for the last 13 years with a few bumps along the way. This created a shell around me that I am trying to break, almost an anxiety shell of leaving my always root home. Always dealing with the same people and so on. Breaking into OpenSource to help with the skills that I have seemed to be the best way to break that shell. Though I feel at this point I am becoming more of a burden than a help since I have yet do do anything though between everyone else at least half of the system seems to be up. Does anyone see anything else that I am missing in my on-boarding steps. Mobile:419-305-9232 --Bryan Vest
