Yes, quite true. However, in my network tech class, I've discovered something
that isn't what I'd like to hear:
Novell is the big thing now.
NT is running a close second.
Why? Because of lack of education.
I've been looking through some of the material for the network class I'm in,
and it seems that the books (and instructors, for that matter) are just
afraid to mention UNIX. They pass it off as something that only runs on
"big server computers" and something that isn't really financially wise to
invest in. Chock full of inaccuracies. No, since everyone these days is
moving their networks over to PC-based platforms, NT and Novell are becoming
the big sellers.
