Yes - but at least around here, "fucked around with $UNIX at home" [1] doesent

talking to clueful folks [2].

[1] Too many "I can install linux!  I is a sysadmin!" types around here. 8-(
[2] Interview for the job I have now.  $NON_PHB: "How do you get past a 
    corrupted password file or lost password on a Solaris box?"  Me: <laugh>
    "You want the short version, or the long version?" [4]

    definitely how it is around here. 
[4] sunhelp.org actually *did* help me get this job, beleive it or not.  [5]
