      Changing Role of Linux Admins

      I think this actually happened over a decade ago.

          Good article. Too many Linux people still think that being an admin is all about compiling code. That's a pretty odd task for an admin to actually do. Too much seepage of home users into the business space.

            I've been in Linux Administration since the late 1990s and I've never seen a shop that compiled their own kernel. That would seriously be an odd and not business-oriented Linux admin task. Only the most special of cases would someone do that. I can't fathom any enterprise shop allowing something like that. Totally goes against all best practices and normal management techniques.
