Man, I feel bad for you. How depressing your life must be that you've managed to convince yourself that W2K is the answer.... IMO Doze admins are a dime a dozen, good unix admins are hard to find. Think small and beat some pavement, show your tenacity and you'll be alright. You gotta network. The LUG meetings are great places to this. Lots of companies have people who go to the meetings and you might end up talking to someone who say "Hey my company is hiring, I'll put in a good word for you" Just my .02 (or less) Don't devote yourself to windows if that's not what you want to do. The bottom line is, if you like your job, you'll do better at it. I'd gladly take less pay over working with windows garbage. (All opinions in this mail are just that if you're offended, don't read them and for pete's sake don't get all riled up. I think windows sux, that's my prerogative and maybe I'm worse off for it who cares) -- Ben Lutgens cell: 612.670.4789 Sistina Software Inc. work: 612.379.5941 Code Monkey Support (A.K.A.
