140 Linux Systems Administrator Reviews
Submit a Review"Sometimes hard to work with users."
"I love that I get to work with several technologies to get things working for everyone within a timely manner. I'm still new and so fascinated by how all the technologies work together. I want to continue to learn more and help others while doing that.I do not like it when others come to me for help when I'm on a tight deadline to a future going project done and high energy ready for the project, but that's a normal day I guess. Still doesn't keep me from this position."
"I set up the Linux server replicating the Client Environment."
"Honestly I do love my job ,though every job has it ups and downs.what I hate is when trouble shooting a problem and not getting any results sometimes. I do really love my job, we work as a team, we share ideas, we learn from one another, we are like a family, we respect each other and there is so much fun."
"I enjoy working on projects and seeing results. I dislike metrics based on numbers rather than quality."
"Figuring out the problem is half the fun. Solving the problem is the other half. The only thing that you could hate about Sys Admin is the never-ending amount of time you much invest to stay competitive."
"Being a Linux Administrator is wonderful, largely because of how well-documented and straightforward most tasks are to set up. With everything as a file, error logging and tracing is far easier than it would be on other systems. I plan to stay a Linux Admin for as long as possible."
"The opportunity to work in multiple environments with various systems and expose to vendors and other technical people in the field."
"I love being able to fix servers and solve challenging problems. I don't like having to work directly with clients."
"I love my job as a Linux Systems Administrator. Having a new puzzle to solve every day is something I look forward to every time I head off to work. The downside, though, is that sometimes you are dealing with an especially mysterious or intractable problem that is very important for you to solve quickly, so it can be frustrating if you don't know how to prioritize, manage your time well, and learn to accept a good enough solution when called for."
