I am *NOT* about to spring $3000 of my savings for a class that might or might not help. What I was asking was whether anyone here would hire, or recommend to their manager, that someone be hired who had years of sysadmin experience, but only training for SAN. I'm not talking, btw, about SAN engineer positions, just general sysadmin who had to deal with SANs. > > its three weeks of class squeezed into 6 days > > in addition i would download the Netapp VM and play with it, Worked with VMware for 4 months in my last contract. Trust me, that added a *LOT* to recruiters calling me back. <G> mark "about to fire it up later and finally do a net install of CentOS 5.3 to test before doing a system upgrade" -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
