Bad idea.  You learn 10% of what you hear, 30% of what you hear, and 70%
of what you do.  [Don't quote me on the numbers - my first Instructor
courses were years or decades ago, I forget which.  ;-)]  Also, with
system administration (as with many other things), which made the most
impression on you - the sternest warning you ever heard, or the worst
blunder you or someone working with you made?

Get 486's and set them up with a Freenix.  Best thing to do.  And,
it's recycling!  ;-)
