- Amen! The *only* way to learn system work is by doing. This means
- having something go wrong, and trying to fix it, without the boss
- giving you step-by-step instructions.
- Sometimes when the student operators (who are really Jr ADmins)
- come to me with a problem, I tell them to come back in 15 minutes if
- they still haven't figured it out :-)
