I doubt even moving straight from 6.2 to 8.0 would mean 'starting all over again'. No doubt your children need to eat, but the emotional appeal fails to convince me that nothing you learned on 8.0 will apply to 9. Many things I learned on Slackware 1.0 are still applicable to RH 8.0. I doubt the jump to 9 will make that much difference. It's *still* Linux, fer chrissake. > Sure, I'm touchy and sensitive - so in thinking pro-actively about my > client base and their servers, workstations and issues, I'll have to > spend even more time getting a grip on a new version (and I HATE .0 > versions) along with all the quirks, foibles and bugs a new version > presents... Or just the problems incurred by upgrading to a new version of dhcpd and having webmin not configure it properly? That happened to me on 7.3 without any sort of version change on the part of Redhat. Sorry, but stuff like that happens and that's why you get paid. If all was glassy smoothness *then* your children would be in trouble because your job would become unnecessary. Change is the only constant in IT and its why people who can deal with it are needed. If you can't handle change then you're in the wrong field. But then, perhaps that's why you need a certificate: to convince people you aren't. Sorry to be so blunt, but I get tired of hearing complaints about a digit and bringing emotional appeals into it makes it even more unpalatable. The only valid complaint I've seen so far has to do with possible issues about someone's RHCE being perceived as outdated by a clueless employer and if this is an insurmountable obstacle in an interview then you weren't very high on the list anyway.
