brianb0··on System Administrator Interview Cheat Sheet
Systemtap looks very cool. I am reading about it now. I will try it ou on my FC11 VM.

Much of it was, I created this in my spare time to help me pass interviews. I was being interviewed by people with less time than me in the industry who didn't know what they were talking about and they were reading from a script or just seeing if I knew as much about their own personalized environment as they did. I needed a one stop place to dump a bunch of stuff I'd need to be able to answer questions.

I made this site quite a while ago when I was unemployed and the jobs available were few and far between and the questions being asked in technical interviews were lame questions that the interviewer was reading off of a script. I am the kind of person that will always look for the better way of doing something and I found many solutions for things that are not on this site.Solaris is much more stable and mature than Linux. I have had far less problems configuring RAC and other applications on Solaris that I have on any flavor of Linux. My favorite Linux dristro is Ubuntu which I wrote very little about on my site because nobody in the industry uses it. They all uses Centos, FC, and RH. And if you think that virtualization is not what a startup would be interested in then you are wrong. I have done an assignment lately where I worked with DS3400s, Brocate FC Swithes, Nortel BNT 7 Layer switches, Bladecenter HS22 with 7 x 7870 AC1 Blades. I setup ESXi 4 and Vsphere. I created a RAID 6 Array for the VMFS Store and several RAID 5s and O+1s for the databases. I created 2 Win2K8 RC2 Blades a MS 2K8 SQL Cluster between the two. They both shared the same LUN as per prerequisite by Microsoft.

I agree it is out of date. I haven't worked on that page for over a year I think. I have done so much cool stuff in the industry since then and I keep meaning to document it and share what I've learned but I've just been lazy. I did however document how to do 801q packet tagging in there. I did a lot of that about a year ago at NetApp where I worked with a lot of VLANs and virtual machines.
