Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Haha Ive never seen that episode before

Linux is an operating system that is 1000000000% better than windows and Mac. You wanna know what to do with your life or get into technology stop using Linux as your OS

 

So if I build my own computer the OS I should pick is linux?

 

If you want to game no but if you want to have open source fully customizable things then yes. A lot of things that you are use to like word and powerpoint is not on Linux. They are things that work just fine but its a huge learning curve. However, once you understand and get it you can do anything. If you are really looking to get into the field I would recommend doing the OpenCloud Academy in San Antonio. Its taught by Rackspace and well worth the money. Its about $3000 to do it but you would spend close to $10,000 or more doing private training. They also guarantee you and interview with Rackspace. Not a job but an interview and that most people cant even get. You also get to do a job fair where you meet other recruiters too.

 

Technology is definitely not for me, was just curious about the diferent OS's out there. I don't have the inclination to go into technology. Much to frustrating for me to even try and make a spreadsheet on excel.

 

I was that same way. I was making Pizza's before I took the leap. I started off in a call center and worked my way up the ranks and started doing Linux Admin work. Then from there the rest is history. I wish I took the leap sooner but for 26 I think I am doing pretty ok. Eventually, I wanna make it to Director or CTO level but I've got a few year

 

Only bad managers. I own failure, but I share success. Teams win, not individuals. My teams get the 4 Ts - Tools, Training, Time, and Trust: the right tools to do the job, quality training to use those tools, the time they need to do the job, and I trust them to be adults.

Folks around here would take a bullet for me.

 

Sounds like I need to come work with you Capt

 

I wish our manager was more like you CAP! He is pretty much a coward and will tell you any bad news he can through email. And he micro manages like a douche bag whenever he has too much time on his hands lol
