      if you're looking at IT, I'd stick with traditional server style OSs - CentOS for example. Fedora is more for the desktop as I understand it.

          Desktop or research. Well used by CentOS people to test features ahead of release. But mostly for engineers, not admins.

            The latest releases of Fedora include a Server-only install. However, I'd still recommend sticking with CentOS.

              what about it?

              You want to learn it?

              I'm not sure what you have access to as far as something like eBay - but you can find all kinds of used switches online that would be a good place to start.

              Also, you could just build virtual switches inside a hypervisor.

                Networking is definitely much harder to break in to less formally than systems fields, also much lower demand for it.

                  Microsoft Virtual Academy is free and very thorough if you decide to go the Microsoft Route.
