Resourceful BSD/Linux Network Administrator

[NicolasBérard Nault]

Actually I think it might be because in FreeBSD, you actually have to read
to understand what you're doing. Linux howtos spoonfeed you.

I've met a lot of very capable Linux admistrators but most are stuck with
their web interfaces (*cough* webmin *cough*) and seem to rely on forums
and mailing lists when there's a problem, not on documentation that
already exists.
