That's nice input Jeff. . .

We all have our general conceptions about the ultimate 'product', and 
one recurring theme in my mind is that the exam taker should have 
access to the man pages. . . as *that* is how the vast majority of 
sysadmins do things out of their routine and beyond their knowledge.  
And clearly, knowing how to use the man pages is fundamental to being a 
sysadmin.
