Crash Course in LINUX

Sarcasm duly noted and apprectiated; but I'm sure you know that as long as I know more about "being a pilot" than anyone else in the building, then they won't need to know (or care) that I'm Googling my way through learning the system one step at a time.

Actually, with this system, I'll probably have to "social engineer" the passwords out of the FEs before I can even get to the back-end Linux stuff; and that'll be just because I want to do my own firstline troubleshooting before calling the 800 number. And eventually, I'll know more about the system than the 800 number guys, and won't need them except to put tickets into the developers.

Anyway, the update is that this job doesn't have enough hours to make an FTE for PACS Admin (it's a small facility), so half my hours will be DBA backing up all systems to an EMC Centera.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I've been looking for an excuse to get into Linux, but I couldn't justify it while working at a vanilla Windows facility.
