This is probably my most weakest point. I'm trying to learn all I can though.

* Knowing how to repair personal PCs and large servers

PC's, for me, are pretty good. I've never attempted a server before though :\

*Knowing how to use a command line interface (Windows, Unix, etc)

I'm really good at using the command line in Windows, but I haven't really messed with it on *nix and the like.

* Knowing a little programming is always a good thing

My strongest point
I do know a little bit of ASM, and other languages. Hopefully it'll all do me good.

* Knowing everything about the equipment you use

Isn't this a little hard to really do? I know it isn't on a PC, but if you are a server admin in a big company, like Blizzard, it'd be hard to know everything about every computer, no? (completely serious question; just incase it sounds like sarcasm)

*Knowing how to make cables (RJ-45, serial, etc), both male and female

2nd weakest point. I've never really messed with wires, except for when I soldered a few PWM's, and some others.

* Knowing a little bit about carpentry is ideal too

I'm going to guess this is in the fact of static electricity and electronics don't mix to well together?
I dunno if it actually makes sense to comment on all these points by Ken, but I just wanted to give some of my background on the situation.
One other things, for the 1rst & 2nd to last points (the "my weakest points" ones), does anyone have any resources for these? I know, especially for the first, that I can use Google, and I will. But I don't know if anyone else has any resources that might be of some help.
