What's your specialty?


I was oddly enough one of the few people in my last forum who knew anything about proxy servers. I am hoping there are other proxy nuts here. So I figured I would ask everyone

What area of Linux is your specialty?

Umm... I can... Um... Damn, I have no specialty. I'm a pharmacy Tech though, so if there is any drug software anyone has any problems with, I can help fairly well

Cool

Stability theory, which has of late gone by the more sexy name of Chaos theory. Wait, that don't have anything to do with linux, does it? Oo la.


P.S. I have to get my post count up some how, don't I? Everyone else seems to beat me about answerring in the other forums. Another oo la.

I have none. That being said, I'm very happy with my computer right now, and there's nothing I need to know to get something done (for right now, of course).

Don't worry about number of posts but the quality of each one. When it comes down to it, someone could have a million posts but that doesn't mean they know everything.

I can design zero-feedback se amplifiers...I'm OK with cd recording probs and a fair bit of Mandrake and Vector stuff, too. Basically, just stuff I've learnt for my PCs.

Yeah, I agree with SlackMaster, you are very good as far as I've seen. You definitely are better than "learning linux" you are probably a bit more advanced than that

Cool
