"One of the things I love about being a UNIX Sys-Admin is performing proof of concept with newer cluster or storage technologies then being able to implement them into a live environment, it is almost like being able to build your own muscle car then take it out and show it off. One of the things I don't like is sometimes not having enough resources to efficiently administer the UNIX environment but this also allows me to become more creative and design my own solution."
