Learn as much as you can about networking. Knowing FreeBSD is an excellent ground for learning the vagaries of any other Unix system (oops, sorry we are not supposed to call FBSD a Unix system anymore .. lol). Jobwise, the most useful ones are Sun Solaris and HP-UX. Solaris you can get for free. HP_UX is a real SOB to administer (I know I did it for many years), but is widespread. Knowing Linux won't do you any harm either. Be warned ! I was a sys admin for a long time, it is a high stress job, and nobody loves you .. boo-hoo. Be aware at job-interviews that if your background so to speak is in FreeBSD you may get asked a lot of searching questions about it. (You would from me if I was interviewing you !). Good Luck ! -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
