Hey all, If you didn't know (you could probably care less) I am currently a Sophomore in high school. At the beginning of this semester I started the Cisco Networking Academies course designed to make me all the System Administrator I can be. Well, to be quite frank, the course sucks. Also, it probably doesn't help that the teacher hardly knows how to turn on a computer. Maybe it will get better once the hardware gets here and we start building routing tables and playing with IOS and the like but... and even if it is better it's a year away. So, I ordered DNS and BIND, 3rd Edition - TCP/IP Network Administration, 2nd Edition - and The C Programming Language ANSI C Edition. I have a 266MHz k6 (bla), and a DX4/100(clone) (bla), i have them networked with a crossover cable, and have the 266 connected to the internet via dialup with a dynamic IP. Windows '95 is going to be run on the DX4, and FreeBSD 2.2.8 on the K6. I was wondering, with this setup, where would my efforts best be directed. What additional books, hardware, etc. should I acquire? (did I make a good choice in the books I did order). What do I need to know to jump into a field of unix system administration right out of high school (though I do plan to go to college). Also please don't say.. buy a Cisco router or someshit as I am pretty poor, these books were basically Christmas. Thanks much, Samuel Greear To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
