Uhm, because it takes more than 5 minutes to sit down and learn *nix OS's. Most "techs" are nothing more than glorified chimps, linux is a "test" of sorts to see if they really have the skill/heart/smarts etc to work with computers. I'm not saying that you have to run *nix to be a tech, but it shows you have the smarts to learn something that doesnt hold yer hand.Quote:

Yeah, I am going to go learn something that 99% of the world doesn't bother to use, so that it won't help me one bit in the real world, just so I can call myself a "real" tech. I will remember that when I get my "real" paychecks, from a "real" company that hired me as a tech and administrator.
:flame: teh die11!!!!
And lot of the world who wish to run servers run *nix....not windows.
Look at the job offerings for *nix based positions...
So once again, you are saying that say, the A+ certification, compromised of all the major companies as the cert for a computer Tech doesn't really make a tech, because they spend so much time on the Windows platforms rather than any others.Quote:

Look, if I was more of an Administrator to Engineer, then yes I absolutly know that I would have to have a strong knowledge of *nix platforms. But as current I am a Desktop Support Tech to helpdesk to administrator to PC Tech. How many companies are going to be running Windows compared to Apple based to *nix based for your front line "tech". On that aspect the "tech" needs Windows based, as well as the 18 million software titles that work with it and those that your own company has developed or had developed for their personal use.
Then you have to keep up with the hardware as well.
Then when you are done, you come here for some support and harmless fun, and you see some other tech say that you are a chump because you don't use nor take the time to use a technology that will not improve your work performance one bit for your current position or others that you would want. Sorry, I get enough of that crap from the users around here.
but it WILL help you get a better job!Quote:

I just installed it(Linux) to dual-boot with my Windows 2000. I can't get it to connect to the network though. Oh well, back to Windows until I have more time to play.
And once again I will state, if Microsoft or Bill Gates is listening, I will be your little bitch for some cash. I will tear down your enemies, I shall not falter, I shall not halt, for plenty of cash will be my guardian, and all other OS's shall tremble when they hear the name Cleetus uttering out his faith and devotion unto that which is known as WINDOWS!!!!
hehe though if you want alot of cash Windows platform is not the way to go due to all the techs that know windows already. A company can hire as many techs as they want and pay them crap cause they know if the tech quits they can eaisly repalce them for someone who will work for less money.Quote:

My problem with Linux is not having enough water and ice for the http://www.pssclabs.com/gif/ani_penguin.gif
Cleetus, you are very right that more people use windows than *nix, and thats because grandma dont want to compile her own programs.
As for people saying yer a chump if ya dont use it...thats dumb, some people just dont like it and thats cool. But many people knock it before they have tried it, or they knock it after playing with it for 20 minutes. Its a totally different OS, you didnt learn Windows overnight so what makes you think that you can learn unix/linux overnight?
I'll also admit its not for the desktop, its for servers, but its also gaining ground in the desktop world
Actually I was quoting you call me a chump:D :DQuote:

After spending 4 years as a corporate level tech, I think I also know that many, many companies just are not going to switch any time soon. That is why Comptia pushes Windows, that is why I study mostly Windows and windows apps. I am not saying that *nix based OS's are bad or dumb or anything else. I am just being a realist and know what the companies really use and really want at the user level. "techs" and programmers and their ilk will always take the time and explore different things, but the normal person will not. And being my job to support these people and to ensure that they get what they want and need most, I am stuck using and learning all I can of Microsofts product. There just is no competition for the knowledge.
But hey, its all good;)
if you have a broadband connection you can download the ISO of Lycoris for free...save you $30 for something you mite not want to keep.Quote:

When did I even remotely say anything to the effect that you were a chump? :confused:Quote:
