AFAIK, there's no classes anywhere. The way most of us learned, was either by trial and error, or by having someone guide us along the way. Best suggestion for you, would be to start reading about everything you can get your hands on about the internet. I started using FreeBSD as a hobby, and tackled various things one at a time. http, bind, ftp, telnet, ssh, etc... Then one day, found myself in the position of "Network Admin" for a startup ISP. Things really took off then, as I had to learn such things as smtp, pop3, imap, radius, snmp, routing, etc... The long and short of it is that if you want to be a systems admin in an ISP environment, you need to fly by the seat of your pants, or you need to get someone with experience to help you out. The first is quite fun, but the second is prefered if you don't have time for big mistakes. This list can help you out, but be sure to read the archives first, ask general FreeBSD questions to -questions first, and ask here only if the question if specific to both FreeBSD and the ISP industry. Another list with _some_ good information is inet-access. You can subscribe by sending 'subscribe' to list-request@inet-access.net Good luck, -- Troy Settle <st@i-Plus.net> iPlus Internet Services It's always a long day... 86400 doesn't fit into a short.
