<p>Cmnorton: </p> <hr /> <div>I put a link here for Backup, expecting a blank page. Is this an appropriate place for a link to Backup.<br /> --[[User:Cmnorton|Cmnorton]] 11:56, March 25, 2008 (EDT)<br /> : I like the link here. One question that goes through my mind is, what is the difference between General System Administration and [[System administration]] ? --[[User:ThorstenStaerk|ThorstenStaerk]] 17:49, March 25, 2008 (EDT)<br /> <br /> : Backup makes sense here, because System Administration appears to be a a description page, not a header page from which other links would appear. I would be willing to reorder these pages, giving the overview in System Administration, and then list out the main bullets here. I would tend to think that cloning would get its own header, because it is a subject that comes up in this and other forums. --[[User:Cmnorton|Cmnorton]] 18:37, March 25, 2008 (EDT)</div>

<p>Cmnorton: /* Things To Discuss */</p> <hr /> <div>== Things To Discuss ==<br /> <br /> I hope to use this page to describe the various Linux programming and systems integration challenges we face in our work. Hopefully, I will have more on that in the future.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Hi Cmnorton, thanks for your question on my user talk page, I would recommend you to write about what you found out and what fascinates you most - I for example recently found out about [[iscsi]], [[pxe]], [[wol]] and [[virtualization]] and all these articles have contributions from me. To find a starting point is indeed a non-trivial task, as admin, please try [[System management]] and [[System info]] and go on from there. I just read those sites - this wiki needs a lot of love, good to have you here. --[[User:ThorstenStaerk|ThorstenStaerk]] 16:26, March 24, 2008 (EDT)</div>

<p>Cmnorton: </p> <hr /> <div>== Vandalism ==<br /> <br /> There's a guy by the name of &quot;Linux&quot; going around and blanking all the pages. Can you block him and clean it up please? [[User:Linux|Linux]] 19:02, June 7, 2007 (EDT)<br /> : why ? In most cases, your blanked pages are better than the blahblah before. And if you want to stop, I do not need to block you, just quit. --[[User:ThorstenStaerk|ThorstenStaerk]] 08:04, June 8, 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> <br /> == Proper Way To Start Sysadmin Page ==<br /> <br /> What do you recommend as a starting point for sysadmin, just pick a topic and write it?<br /> <br /> --[[User:Cmnorton|Cmnorton]] 15:25, March 24, 2008 (EDT)</div>

<p>Cmnorton: Introduction</p> <hr /> <div>== Overview Stuff ==<br /> <br /> This is the Wiki Page of cmnorton chief programmer for the Town of Arlington, MA. Arlington is a town of roughly 40,000 citizens located west of Boston, MA. Chief Programmer is not my real title, but that keeps changing from year to year, and Chief Programmer seems to cover my many duties.<br /> <br /> I am responsible for programming, database and system administration, and anything Linux or whatever else is deemed should be handled by me, usually what is perceived as &quot;yucky&quot; stuff.<br /> <br /> My duties include the sustaining engineering of a tax collection package (real-estate, motor vehicle excise, water, and parking tickets), which was designed and implemented in house about fifteen years ago. It and a separate cash management package are implemented in Informix 4GL RDS, C, and Perl. The database is Informix SE (standard engine) Likwise, I support an &quot;uptake&quot; (administrative) application for Council On Aging built from the the same &quot;stuff&quot; as the tax collection package and cash management.<br /> <br /> Although I have played around with different Unix distributions since 1986, I had never been plunged into using Linux or developing for Linux unitl about four years ago, when we made a decision to move our SCO Unix applications to Linux. At one point about two years ago, I realized the only way I could be truly independent and handle my Linux duties well was to make Linux my primary desktop system. I've used Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, Fedora 6, and finally settled with Ubumtu, 6.06 and 7.10.<br /> <br /> About a year ago, I also started preparing for LPIC-1 certification. I did this for one reason, to widen my Linux knowledge. It was difficult but worth it. I received my certification in August 2007.<br /> <br /> <br /> ----</div>
