5 Largely self-taught. Do many reading on various Linux/UNIX and network topics, regularly check Freecode, LWN, and other sources. Like experimenting with software just to know what can it do and how it does it do. Personal traits Prefer to be a swift learner rather than hard-bitten expert. Perfectionist prefer well-thought and «right» solutions to quick and dirty fixes which may take more time but usually proves itself. 5 of 5 12/20/ :32 PM
