I think most of the good sysadmin work inside ISPs or large corporations anyways, and the work done inside is really hard to judge even if they work on OSS stuff because either a lot of the stuff is so routine or so related to the company's security that it can't be declassified.
I think some requirements for a good sysadmin now are: * Being able to work on multiple platforms.. at least having idea/skill on stuff like LDAP, NIS... at least making Windows and linux talk better * Understanding networks and security scenarios and being able to react fast. * Communication skills ---- It's often the case that sysadmins don't communicate too effectively or assume too much, u might want to avoid that. * Interest in learning new things --- it might actually payoff someone who knows some useful skills with an interest in developing skills than someone who knows what's "hot" now but not too enthused in learning new tricks. Of course these are rather generic. Often times, it depends from company to company. A small company might be good with a different skill set than a larger one. Also, in places like Nepal, often one person is managing many places too which can be both a good thing or bad. > Thank you. > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: foss-nepal@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
