Hello Shobhitha :-). Not Linux specifically, but Unix systems in general, sure. They are important in many fields. If you can’t find your way around Unix systems you shut yourself out of almost all server side work (although a little is done of MS OSes, and a small buy valuable part on older mainframe Ones). So computer engineers absolutely should. Some people think CS should stick to the more theoretical “sciency” parts of computers. If you think CS should teach noting practical, then you can leave out Unix in general. Personally I think some practical things should be taught, plus as Linux/FreeBSD/NetBSD are all Open Source OSes they could make great platforms for studying all kind of things. VM page replacement algorithms and disk storage systems and such. So they make great experimentation platforms. As a practical matter if your University skimped, go pick it up. Do some command line work. It is enlightening. Do some server work, it too is mind expanding. Go mess with the VM subsystem it is…um… frustrating and fraught with danger. Also enlightening though. Thanking You, Ngcc Software Technologies. read less

Hello All, Thank you so much for being there to have almost every question answered. I would to let you guys know of my misery and help me out. I have been working in an IT company for the many years now with absolutely no idea of what domain I am in. Its a normal IT job where I do not perform anything technical. And I think I am not going anywhere with this. Especially when I am almost 32 now. I know its late. Also I am not good at coding and guess I won't be able to learn coding. 'But', I do have some idea about SQL and at times & I think maybe I can try my hands at learning SQL. I also have a deep urge to learn Linux. The reason I mentioned SQL and LINUX is only because I think they wouldn't be too tricky(as much as JAVA, C, or any other programming language). Please let me know if I can go ahead with learning SQL and LINUX and if I do, What all roles can i apply for, in the future. I'd be grateful to you.
Congratulations on completing these many years in IT first of all. Sometimes we come to a certain point in life where we feel that we cannot break the plateau, but it is not like that. You have a beautiful...
