'eh with *nix guys you have several types.
1. Those who are what they are and charge the world, they know everything because they've had the time and money to be trained.
2. Those who're hobiests and know a great deal (like me! lol, a bit o' everything)
3. Those who ran through and chose "Everything" on the setup disk of a distro and just run xwindows and think they're the bees knees...
lol its funny with linux hosts; the cpanel makes things so dummed down you dont need any linux skill to use them... In fact, the only thing you need to know in most cases is FTP.
Now if you go to dedicated servers and VPS you need to know how to update system services, but that doesn't effect too many.
lol, daddy, can i scare the windows users?
