[TriLUG] essential Linux skills?

[Jason Tower]

i have a simple "test" i've given to prospective employees:

i create a user account on one of my servers, start a screen session, 
and have them log in and attach to the session (that way i can see what 
they're doing).  i then say "you have fifteen minutes to tell me 
everything you can about this machine.  go."  it will quickly become 
apparent how much linux they really know.
