Well good afternoon

Afternoon chaps and chapesses,

I'm Carl, most people just call me either trig or oneil, usually trig (only fools n horses reference). I'm from London, living in Stoke on Trent.. I'm a Linux sys admin with Windows experience from 95/NT4 through all the servers up to Windows 7 Desktop..

I'm skilled in a lot of areas, although I have no qualifications or training, including certs, (why am I here then? just be helpful).. Currently made redundant from a job yesterday where I spent 7 years running the hosting/isp services and support team for legacy clients and new projects.. So i'm on the job hunting bandwagon..

Found cert forums, when looking for advice on a CV..

Be nice, and I'll catch you about

Hi I am also new to certifications and coincidentally also live in Stoke On Trent. I am slightly different in that I am a student, so the certifications I get will be used in my future career. Welcome from a fellow newbie.
