Job Interview

[Snakedoctor]

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?

Good luck with the blagging Don't get in too deep though, you don't want to end up in a job that you can't do!

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

good luck!

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

Don't get in too deep though

Sorry, but that tickled me.

However, good luck on the blagging, and here's hoping the interviewer doesn't peruse these forums and can't add 2 & 2 if they do!

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.
