In my experience as a Senior Systems Engineer/Admin most in
software development, especially Java, haven't the slightest idea of Linux.
Most only know the absolute minimum to test/validate/Benchmark their
application, but when it comes to "general knowledge" most developers i
have been around are usually pretty lost outside their IDE.

Yes! Of course they should know Linux ... like I know Linux ... EVERYONE
SHOULD ... LOL, but I'm biased and jaded.
