Well a friend sent me an email listing some things that he thinks I should know. A good amount are about Unix, which I haven't really worked with. Anyone bored and want to fill in the answers or point me towards where I can look them up? I think I'm going to install some Unix and get familiar with it when I get a chance. These questions are completely opposite from what I am used to supporting for the most part.
