Question for Sys admins

[jd99]

I was wondering how did you guys get your foot in the door. I have been doing NT/2000 network administrator for about 2 years, and have some Cicso/HP wan experience as well. I am just wondering the best way to switch over to the "other side". Learning it is hard enough when you work 50+ hours a week +2 hours travel time everyday, but then getting your foot in the door must be even tougher. I do have some unix experience, but its all minor crap, helping out the real Unix admin while my side of things were slow. I look foward to hearing your responses.

Thank you
Joe

If you have a PC at home, install Linux and play around with it. It is very similar to the other Unixes, so if you can manage a Linux machine, you should be able to manage any unix flavor.
