No really, run one, in a controlled environment, in the wild, learn all aspects to it, be prepared to learn a lot more than you bargained for, become a skilled professional and don't be discouraged by pessimistic views. Read manuals, books, specs, standards, history, languages. It's worth it. OpenBSD is a great companion in this. And so is Unix as a whole.
