Howdy - Into
by beargfr from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57ZWM)
Howdy everyone,
New to this forum but have been an I.T. pro for more than 40 years (so far).
By far most of my experience over that time has been in/on the IBM Mainframe world as a system programmer, however in my distant past as an independent consultant I did work on "mid-range" systems for a couple years and got pretty good at it, being the sole *nix sysadmin supporting a county hospital. They ran a mix of AIX on RS6000's, Solaris on PC's, and whatever the then current version of DEC Unix was (I've forgotten the name) running on their machines. I learned a lot including writing quite a few shell scripts to automate monitoring and managing those systems - then, but haven't touched it much since 10+ years ago so I'm sure I've forgotten more than I remember.
I've recently started working on my own Centos 8 server, trying to re-learn all the things I've forgotten plus expand my skills working with "new stuff" like Docker, containers, integrating it with my existing Windows domain network, and so on.
I hope being here turns out to be a good resource and that folks will be patient with me whenever I ask what I'm sure will be dumb questions.
Cheers,
Bear
