Hey everyone, So I'm wanting to suggest purchasing new equipment for my firm. We currently buy a new system here and there for employees, but I'm thinking it will be more cost effective to purchase in bulk every 3 years; about 97 computers. I work at an engineering company, which …

My suggestion would be to get certified... often companies consider that over a degree if it's specific to the task at hand. If you can teach yourself enough to get certified in Java, C++, C#... you'll be in good hands. Even a certification in MCSD?

Cisco for hardware (considering they control 90%+ of the internet). Software... Red Hat. I have no experience at all with Linux systems, and am actually an MCP. [I]That's[/I] how good Red Hat is... I've never used it and I love it.

Hey Seten, Allowing permissions is the key for allowing/restricting access to certain files. One key point to remember while setting permissions is this: Permissions are inherited throughout directories (unless disabled). Meaning, if you allow a user access to a folder, he/she also has access to every file and folder inside …
