Ok, here is a very noob question:
I want to start working with linux more and learn more about admining it.
What exactly should I look into?
It's weird because I have been playing with linux since Redhat 5 back in '97, but all I have really done with it is install it, maybe get a few programs to run on it, and I even compiled a new kernel once many years ago.
But what should I focus on if I want to admin a linux server?
Sorry if this seems a little vague, I really don't know what to ask.
Thanks for any advice.

Ok, I'll try that.
I got the MS stuff under control.
MCSE from NT4.0
Got my MCSA on 2003, working on MCSE 2003.
Just want to throw some linux into the mix and maybe a little Cisco.
As you may imagine, learning a whole new operating system is a little overwhelming.
Thanks!
