I kind of agree, but things are a-changing. Up until a few months ago, I was chugging along as a happy techie in a departmental IT team when all of a sudden, crash bang awallop - ITIL happened! Departmental IT was dissolved, and a few of us (including yours-truly) got redeployed into service level management teams to work as a bridge between IT and the customer. No more do I get to fiddle with the gadgets that I love so much (well, not at work anyway!) as my job now consists of helping organise projects, reviewing SLA's and general non-techie megubbins. I'd love a Linux job! But it seems that a lot of IT work in the country is sliding away from the techie and to the suit :-( Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
