I have the same issue that Cheetah does. It comes down to resources, both hardware and time. I love learning but am not able to keep up with day to day responsibities; so I have no choice but to learn only those things that allow me to be productive for my company. Also, we don't have the production hardware we need, much less an adequate test and development environment. I think that may change as we are in the process of virtualizing production servers, which in turn should free up some server we can use to virtualize a test environment.

I do admire anyone's willingness and ability to learn new things ahead of the need, however!
