NOT BS... True, there are a bunch of MCSE's that are on top of things....however, there are way too many scam artists with MCSE's who only give a damn about getting a bigger consulting fee than securing their customer's networks.And of course there isn't a single *nix consultant around who isn't worth his/her weight in gold and doing an absolutely fabulous job......<pointless rant> You know I have been telling that to people, but the problem is, if a company runs a windows networks, they start wearing "windows Blinds" ie, if windows cant do it that it _must_ be _impossible_ to do in a production enviornment. Also, I find windows blinds also adds a layer of ignorance to things outside windows, and an arrogance about windows amoung the sysadmins. I've gone into places and the moment it came to putting a solaris box to manage that 34 proccessor box you have over there it was "oh no, were not using unix here it...<random factually incorrect execuse goes here>" And the people who run unix networks, well, the sysadmins usally are spolied. They can leave that solaris box running 34 proccessors in the corner, and have any other box talk to it without trouble. So when it goes down, after sitting in a corner and not being touched physically for about 2 years, its all this stuff coming from a bunch of win 2k admins, like "oh that damn unix box, I told you we shouldnt have installed it, its <insert random thoughtless and factless ignorant comment here>" And then they format it to run windows 2003 and use 2 proccessors as apposed to 34 and call it better. So the bottom line? Windwos is a virus and it infects sysadmins into just making shit up to ramify their choice of windows because they cant figure out *inx because it dosnt have the point and click interface. *sigh* There, thats my rant for the day :) </pointless rant>Shitty people come in all shapes and sizes and infest every profession. They're as unavoidable as air.
