Classes taught by people who don't know the technology and are just reading from a script, usually. If you want to learn a new technology, don't waste your time with classes... curl up with the docs and the system for a week instead. All the classes do, most of the time, is give people an excuse to spend that week messing around with the hardware. There are a few exceptions, but how often do you get a course in TCP/IP programming from Stevens or Sendmail from Allman? >I guess I'm just jaded from all the marketing BS that happens all the >time in technology. You seem to have soaked up a bunch of it. (personally, I'd push BSD over Linux simply because it's more likely to have code in common with the commercial UNIXes you have around the place... most especially in the networking code, since just about everyone except Linux is using the BSD networking code)
