Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm a PHP developer and always thought all opensource developers had at <br>
least some knowledge of Linux.<br>
<br>
Recently I watched a YouTube video that stated otherwise. The presenter <br>
said it is important to know Linux which will set one apart from the <br>
crowd.<br>
<br>
I have been "messing"/"playing"/"working" with Linux since around 1998 <br>
or so. Learned a lot and have a lot to learn. Thought all opensource <br>
developers had at least a fundamental understanding of Linux.<br>
<br>
Is it true most do not know Linux?<br>
<br>
And is it true that it is good, for a dev, to be able to put they have <br>
basic familiarity of Linux on their Resume?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!!<br>
