The
Redibusters series goes about applying the
Mythbusters methodology to IT. Here is the wrap for myths 11 to 20. Please leave comments on the blog if you have an IT myth that needs to be confirmed or busted. (Nothing is sacred!)
- Redibuster #14: If you are a certified MCSE you do not need to create documentation. You can fly by the seat of your pants..
- Redibuster #15: It is firewall best practice to use dual-skinned firewalls from different vendors. *
- Redibuster #16: Betamax was a better technology than VHS.
- Redibuster #20: It is unwise for enterprises to deploy open source network management tools. The software is not up to the same standard as commercial software.
Movements:
- Redibuster #3: JUNOS is more stable than IOS, has moved from deadheat to confirmed.
All other Redibusters have stayed on the same initial tracking.
