	I have to look at things from the perspective of a UNIX SysAdmin.  
I work with Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD & Tru64 (though not so much the last 
one anymore).  I have to deal with managing many different systems and the 
more they have in common the better it is.

	I know that most people in here think of Linux from the view of a 
desktop OS but I have to see it as part of the whole picture.
