There is a lot to learn don't get me wrong. And yeah I'm oncall
almost all the time, but in general that is because most unix
systems are running mission critical stuff. On the upside my unix
systems are far more stable then the NT or Novell boxes, and
their uptimes aren't even comparable. I tend to get paged for
network issues related to NT more often then the unix system.
