That page is ridiculous.  You do not need to know all those items.  You may
not even need to know a third of them.   What you do need is a basic
knowledge of how *nix works, common troubleshooting skills,  a curiosity to
learn, and an ability to learn.

When I hire people to work in my engineering department, I do not have a
checklist of skills needed, I am more interested in a person's base
knowledge, curiosity, and ability to learn.
