[SLL] faking Unix knowledge? pretend to know open source Unix?

[Jeremy C. Reed]

What are some things you think someone should have a basic idea in to make 
it appear that they know Unix?

If someone only had 30 minutes to learn Unix without any plan for them to 
continue Unix education beyond that, what would be some trivia or standard 
concepts they should learn so that can pretend to know Unix?

If a non-Unix manager needs to listen in to staff's Unix admin 
discussions, what must he know to fake Unix knowledge?

If you have any real world examples of managers or employees or even job 
interviewees pretending to know Unix, please share your anecdotes.

Or if you needed to run an interview and only had a minute to evaluate 
Unix understanding, what would you ask?

I already have a huge list of concepts and outline for pretending to know 
open source Unix, but I am looking for some other's feedback and comments 
too.

Feel free to email me off-list if you'd like.

(Well I know it is not possible to learn Unix in 30 minutes. I know it 
takes years. It took me years and that included constant study, 
programming, reading, and application of skills. Unix classes I taught 
have been 7 hour jump start workshops to 9 weeks of night classes.)
