Yah, Fedora is what they say they will teach me at the local CC. I’m an old DOS guy, spent a bunch of years with Windows doing software test. Been out of work for over a year, looks like all the test positions want experience with HP Mercury stuff and some sort of Unix, so I’m starting over here. I’m not gonna be happy building bikes at the local shop for $14/hr the rest of my life, I want to get back to where I was money-wise. I need some skins on the wall to compete in this market, but I am in Dallas and there are plenty of jobs out there for somebody with the right skillset. I’m gonna get some education and then a couple of HP certs, maybe Windows Server 2008, and hope for the best. I was always a seat-of-the pants guy who spent enough time on my products that I could pull off stuff that would normally take a BS. I gots plenty of BS, but nothing from a real university. Sucks starting over at age 53, but I ain’t dead yet.
