Sorry to follow-up again.  One other comment on the teching of Unix
courses.  A lot of schools seem to have fallen out of touch with the life
of the industry (many still tech classful routing) and I did see Unix
courses decline.  They seem to be coming back though, IMHO.

A friend of mine did a multi-year diaploma course which did not cover Unix
at all.  He volunteered at my work place at the time to get some Unix
experience and ended up as a Solaris admin :)  He tells me they
reintroduced Unix to the course a couple of years after he finished.
*sigh* :)
