Re: OS to know.

I've been in quite a few security companies, and some form of BSD seems 
to be the platform of choice for many of them. However, you really need 
to be versed in the platform that your clients are running, so for large 
institutions I'd say that would be Solaris, AIX, and now Linux seems to 
be gaining traction. At least most of the Unix like platforms have some 
concepts and implementations that apply to all of them.
