I am not a networking guru...hell, half the terminology I use is wrong (but I can blame that on the fact that english is not my native language :) but I do have plenty of empirical knowledge, acquired from all the people I've worked with during the last 15 years or so. I don't advocate for a MSCE-like test for computer users...theoretical tests don't mean a thing, IMNSHO...but let's start giving out practical tests to everybody before allowing them to use a computer unsupervised...that'd be paradise :) Vox -- Think of the Linux community as a niche economy isolated by its beliefs.
