Ask HN: How to transition from Windows to Unix 15 years ago
I am not a UNIX noob. I've been using FreeBSD on and off for 10 years, and have developed in C++ on Unix systems on my own for about the same amount of time (have done Perl also and some Ruby too) so that is not the issue. The issue is 1) no "hard" experience working on these systems and 2) how to make what experience I do have seem applicable to businesses that do use UNIX which by the way, seems very limited after becoming aware of all the jobs we get for the MS stack. Also, for some reason my employer specifically targets MS users so that makes it even more difficult in my current position.
