While this is true to a point, there are enough differences between
distributions that if you don't learn one in-depth then you don't really
know how to approach more complicated problems.  And if you don't pick one
to learn a lot about, you probably won't learn a _lot_ about any of them.

I think much too much is being made about the differences between distro's.
I think they all are capable of doing the same things but some are
'packaged' better for servers, some are packaged better for workstations,
some are packaged for only specific hardware and some have greater strengths
for geographical region/language.

It would seem that it is more important to learn one system very well than
to charge ahead and sample a bunch of them. It would also seem to be
instructive to sample a BSD distro.
