Hi,
Thanks for the replies.

It would be better still if more people respond to this thread so that we can get a general overview about what most people think.

Also How can a Oracle DBA who has been working on NT for 3 years get into Oracle on Unix administration. The reason I am asking this is I am one of them and it is a known fact that just being a DBA on NT operating system is not enough, but the question is how do you shift your platform because nobody will give you a job till the time you know it and you cannot know it till the time you work on it.

Administration on unix is not like programming which you can learn at home and then apply for jobs. Most of the times it is an on the job learning.

btw when we say DBA on unix what should the person know other than shell scripts. I mean what is enough to get a job.

I can learn unix by installing Linux but then what areas should one concentrate on so that he can start applying for jobs and the rest he can learn on the job.

Open to as many ideas as possible.

Thanks
Anurag
