Job Interview

Snakedoctor · 2 Apr 2008 at 16:24

Well, been stuck in a fairly dead end IT job for the last few years and finally got myself an interview tomorrow, for a descent job with an ISP. I have already had a phone interview which I passed, now I am told I need to know Unix as they use it mainly.

Never really done that before, I have used "Putty" as a command line interface to unix, but only a few commands. Does anyone know of any good Unix overview sites I can have a read up of tonight?

Grabbing Cygwin now to have a play. Thanks for the site URL

good luck!

Cheers dude. Had a little play and it seems fairly similar to using DOS. I'm sure I can cope with it tbh. Found this site quite useful

Cheers, but I wont be blagging it! I have already told them I have limited experience with UNIX. I think they want knowledge of DNS setup, pop and smtp, fault diagnostics with Modems and networking, which I have in plentiful supply. I am now learning UNIX myself and have used it to a certain degree in my current role, so I may stand a chance, fingers crossed.
