I expect, that good (tier-3, to say) network engineer MUST know Windows and Unix (== Linux, FreeBSD etc) on tear-2 (or better) level. Else, he will not be able to troubleshout his _network problem_ (because they are more likely complex Network + System + Application + Cable problem). So, it is not a good answer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete Templin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 7:16 AM Subject: Re: Platinum accounts for the Internet (was Re: who offers cheap (personal) 1U colo?) > > Laurence F.
