Windows Admin looking for a Linux(ish) job?
Hello, I’m a Windows admin that has a couple years working with Linux (CentOS in production, Fedora at home). I’ve got myself into a pickle. I worked with Linux at my last job, but I’ve got myself into a job that is only(mostly) Windows, well sometimes Mac. No Linux… Yes, probably a big misstep... I’ve got 7 years working in Windows environments and 2 years of Linux. I’m not trying to go full throttle Linux SysAdmin, but looking for more of a heterogeneous Windows / Linux environment probably on the corporate side. I don’t think I have the skills to work for a full on Linux/Unix ISP/DevOps, where I probably should be if I want to get Linux Admin experience.
Anyway I’m looking to isolate the core concepts any good Linux Admin (Distro Agnostic) should have. I’m working on my RHCSA and trying to teach myself Python. I have a list below of the things I’m focusing on. Am I missing anything glaring?
Installation / Partitioning / LVM
File Installation
File/Folder Ownership / Permissions
Shared Resources (NFS, iSCSI, SMB/CIFS integration?)
Configuring the Network/Firewall (BIND, iptables)
Scripting (Bash, Perl, Python)
Directory Admin (LDAP)?
Log monitoring / Maintenance
Backup / DR
Apache
MySQL
I also not just to help my studying, but to point me in the direction of things to try at home. Do I put up a LAMP server again, do I try putting up an OpenLDAP server, should I stick to learning Python scripting really well and just pick up what I can from the RHCE book? There are just so many cool options, but I want to focus my energies on what's cool and useful.
