Long time ago, I studied the "dark side of computer sciences", and
the first
things I have learn are that you can not claim to be a hacker, or
elite,
or... If you do so, then people will name you lamer. You are a
hacker if
other people recognize you as such.
There is a difference between the three words.
Of course.
Elite is something that truly elite people do not try to be. Nor do
they care if they are called such. That's the irony of "l33+".
Hacker is, again, not something you try to be. Either you hack or you
hesitate. People (like me) who tend to talk tend not to hack so much.
System administrator is actually a role that needs to be filled.
The truth here is simple: you are not what you want, only other
people can
define who you really are.
Which I can acknowledge is relevant about "elite hackers", but I
think
it's missing the point about system administrators.
If you (the general "you") own hardware that doesn't have a system
administrator, you need to fix that situation. Maybe it means you
need
to step into the role.
Being able to fit the role for minor and simple tasks does not makes
you able to do the whole role. Installing OSes and applications in a
end-user way is quite trivial.
sysadmin is, for me and other (I hope), someone which is of course able
to do those minor tasks, but also to manage really more difficult ones.
Like installing OSes and applications automatically on more than one
computer, depending on the use of that computer (programming, writing
for the boss, taking care of money, etc).
For example, a windows sysadmin will need to understand how active
directory works. In other things.
This is really more complex than the basic usage. Anyway, I think the
problem we really have in this discussion is that we do not use same
words for same things.
