Re: How hard is it for a generalist to pickup patching Linux/Unix servers?

My career path is locked PMP, MBA, etc. I don't see myself getting any technicial certificates, but the actual hands on will be there and I am pretty darn excited about it. I just hope this isn't a one off type of role where I am…
