i have done Bachelor of Science in MIcrobiology

i've only got my high school diploma, but i'm computer administrator for the Washington, DC office of a telecommunications company...making $100000USD a year

I have done the high-school graduation this year in a mechanical engineering - class, but I don't go on with my studies to be a 'simple' mechanical engineer, I will be studying transportation engineering from september at the best university of the country
It will be hard though.

I`m going to graduate high-school this year, i`m not quate sure what i`m going to do after this but in Bulgaria the most well-paid profesions are dentist, doctor, architect and maybe programmer or administrator..but the last two are not very easy to find good job connected with them here in bg but it very easy to go abroad and find sth. there

hanging out on a free shell forum despite your 7 main systems on which you're afraid to install linux... Dude, you're so full of shit I'm surprised you're not screaming in pain.

lol...dude, i'm not here because i'm afraid to install Linux on one of my systems (i have it on 3 of them and we're going to upgrade the servers at work from Solaris to *BSD in the near future...) i'm here becuse i don't want to really fuck with Command-Line shit in Linux running on one of my systems, so if i fuck it up, i've got to go take 3 hours and do a reinstall of the OS and all my software...if i have a shell, if i really fuck it up, all i have to do is write an email.

Um, not to be rude, but it's pretty hard to screw up your Linux system. And, yes, that includes on the very friendly Linux command line. This isn't Windows. Only root has the power to mess over your Linux install (not every single user, like in 99% of all Windows installs where everyone is an admin), so as long as you're not logged in as root on the command line (or, if you are using Ubuntu, not using the "sudo" command), you shouldn't be able to do any damage to your system (besides deleting your personal files and settings).

Of course, you'd already know that if you have ever administrated a Linux server. Anyway, I'm not trying to be rude here, I just dislike people who... erm... stretch the truth, as well as people who scare other people away from Linux because they make them think it's extremely easy to "mess something up" on the command line.

i always thought it was...and i almost always use sudo or su in commandline because it makes it easier than trying to do something that requires root access and having to sudo and retype the command (or recall it)...and also, if i ever want to run anything server-like, it would be best to run it on a shell that's up 24/7, not one of my home systems that i turn off every night.

BA in BS (business administration). Im currently Unemployed. (sucks, really)

i am currently a student.. one day i'd like to be a good system designer and at the same time web designer (in my dreams!) .. hehe

Im studying Law atm... Dont think ill practice as an attorney or anything though. Still have another 4 and a half years of studying so ill see where I end up, most probably trading in arms though

lets see... going into grade 10 hi school >.< ummm .... i self-teach myself crap about vb, and c++

I took computer aided drafting in high school of course back then it was just called "CAD".

Then in college i got an associates in auto and diesel mechanics,which all of that played a part in me building my dream home and driving an 18 wheeler over the road now.

That was a long time ago for this old dinosaur.

you guys have a much brighter future with your wisdom of computers,dont get me wrong i make great money but i stand behind you all and appreciate everyone of you.

I thought about studying law, didn't "go for it" though. Any fun?
