Linux Systems Administration
Linux Systems Administration
Linux operating systems and software are based on a principle of revelation, as in not keeping the underpinnings of their software a secret. When you use a Linux system, you know that many people
have openly and publicly evaluated the programs you run.
I am currently a Linux System Administrator and OS X Desktop & Server Admin. I feel exceptionally comfortable on Linux systems. I currently am in charge of a number of systems running different distributions of Linux, in some cases for clients and in some cases for personal use.
My personal favorite distro is Debian. Linux preferences can be the subject of heated debate amongst geeks, so I will leave it at that. Once a machine is installed, administering them is usually very similar -- the main difference at that point is where the system keeps some files, and methods of updating the systems.
I can install Linux on Apple hardware (LinuxPPC), creating a server out of a mac that can't run OS X well. If my geekiness is not showing well enough yet, I have compiled my own Linux kernels for PPC.
I administer machines running Linux, most especially Debian (PPC & x86 architectures), and I also have experience in Red Hat.
While not Linux, I have also dealt on similar levels with the OS X BSD subsystem, and administering any *nix flavor requires bash scripting, php cli scripting, application installation, maintenance, debugging, security, all of which I have experience in.
