about becoming a Systems Administrator. I'm just a home user/Private English 
School Teacher with 5 multi leveled (Mandrake, Redhat,FreeeBSD,Turbo and 
(aaaah) windows ME (japanese version) systems online and 3 standing buy to 
use in my computer class, (online teaching project) and some of my friends, 
students and parents are asking questions about linux.. This book is giving 
me many questions I have never thought of.. Another project I have to take 
care of is Recommending a distro for different applications eg, 
1.Single user working in home office (Mandrake)
2. University computer science lab (?)
3.corportate web server (RedHat)
4. Japanese high school and Jr. High school computer lab (Never used linux)(?)
