What a Systems

The short and sweet answer is that to be a really good
Systems Administrator you need to know everything about the
entire computer system including operating system, hardware,
software, users, management, network and anything else you can
think of that might affect the system in any way.
Failing that lofty aim the System Administrator must have the ability to gain this all encompassing knowledge. The discovery process may include research, trial and error, or begging. The abilities to learn and problem solve may well be the two most important attributes for a Systems Administrator. |
