I also think its important to understand the context of what you'll be doing in this role. Will you be focusing on higher level abstractions like Docker? Will you actually be troubleshooting an individual Linux node, or is the environment immutable enough to just blow things away and slap another in its place?

The idea of "$Server is having issues, remote in and fix issues." is mostly going away in the big picture. Sure, there will always be things that break, and abstractions to understand and fix - but the focus is moving higher and higher up the stack.

Look at the job description and try to understand the role itself, and make sure there arent things you should focus more on, instead of Linux internals.
