I'd be years younger, if I hadn't ;-)
I can't tell you how much time I spent poring over man
and info, reading online manuals and forum posts, hand
editing config files hidden in sub-sub directories,
etc. I know lots about the system. I do most of the
maintenance tasks on the command line. I've written my
own scripts to do a lot of stuff, too (I took two
years at university in Computer Science in the mid- to
late '80s, where I learned Assembly Language, Fortran,
Pascal, C and Lisp, as well as lots about machine
architecture, discrete mathematics and more---and I've
forgotten most of it, but I still know enough to feel
at home poking around in the system).
