Level I Admin as defined in 
https://www.usenix.org/system/files/lisa/books/usenix_22_jobs3rd_core.pdf ??

(As an aside, why doesn't LOPSA either define this themselves, or at least 
uphold the LISA definition?)

I myself would not specify technologies, as different co's use different mixes, 
and things always change over time... I'd concentrate on needed general skills 
and generic abstractions ("can perform backups and restores", "can modify 
network settings on an OS", etc.) and then they will be easily taught the 
specifics when hired. (Of course, that said, I think every SA should have a 
grounding on *nix, as it is low barrier to entry [free to use/modify], and all 
of the relevant concepts can be learned on that platform, and the underlying 
source code for the OS/commands/tools explored if desired...) 

$0.02,
Will

Subject: [lopsa-discuss] What are characteristics of the ideal sysadmin graduate

Hi

As part of WA State's center for excellence in information technology, they are 
creating a profile of the "ideal" system admin graduate from a 2 or 4 year 
program.  The goal is to get an outline of skills and knowledge 
needed.   So what do you consider the skills and knowledge needed by a new 
system admin graduate?

Cheers,

Ski
