140 Linux Systems Administrator Reviews

"I always like the power off open source, It is like giving an extra power to you. I would proudly say that I am a Linux admin as it is the most powerful software till now. You can customize the way a machine works with the help of Linux."

"I really do love my job, I've been in this game now for over a decade, and though the climate is changing and moving more towards DevOps, I know there will always be a place for someone like me."

"I enjoy my role, but I like to solve problems. I do not like to put them off just to make a quota."

"Linux is a superb operating system. It is reliable, flexible, and efficient. And to think, it was created by a bunch of amateurs. However, I work in a small data center, and I think that the days of the on premises data center are numbered. Cloud computing is much less expensive and faster. I recently had to install a new server. From the time I took it out of the box until the time I turned it over to the user was 5 hours, including cabling, configuring the switch, loading the OS, etc."

"I am working with legacy systems, not the state-of-the-art Google systems. I like Linux, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to learn about Google's infrastructure works. As a contractor, I don't get access to that."

"Love how Linux is not well known by the masses, yet it powers the internet and many devices. I love its capabilities and customization. What I hate is that there is only so much I can absorb in a day."

"I am fulfilled as a person in my line of work. It was my childhood dream way back at the age of 12 when I got my first computer, to be a programmer. The technology has grown, I am like a kid in a sweet store. I love my work and I can't imagine doing anything else."

"I love the hours and the ability to work remotely. The amount of work, time and dedicated I've put into this will be greatly missed, and I know I will likely never find a position with the amount of flexibility that I currently have. I do enjoy being provided with a free lunch, pool tables, air hockey, the ability to utilize Mac OS X as my work station and the ability to not be micro-managed. I enjoy my co-workers, and the laid back environment of our offices."

"I absolutely love the work and the freedom that comes with it."

"To me, the Linux and systems knowledge is like the space exploration; it's never ending."

"I love everything about system admin. Just being in control and logging into servers to solve a problem or make the server be better for the customer. Just hated when customer gets angry too fast before you could investigate the issue but was always a good feeling to know that I can make them happy later once I fixed the problem :)"

"I love to work on Linux platform. It's my life."

"I love everything about a unix system administrator."

"I've been working with Linux for almost 10 years, I'm a fan of open source software. Everything you need can be done with Linux. Only downside is sometimes it can be a pain to get different packages installed. Other than that, Linux is great. Prefer working with Linux than any other OS."

"The best part is when customer issue gets solved. The part I don't like there are some users hard to work with."
