NEVER be ashamed to admit that you learned something.
Learning is a good thing.
It doesn't matter when you learn it as long as you do learn.
I think that being ashamed about not knowing something tends to promote
what I consider to be a negative stigmata that people should know
everything and that they should hide what they don't know.
I've been administering Linux professionally for more than two decades
and I still learn new things weekly if not daily.
Help pull others up, don't hold them down by climbing on top of them.
