For the admins:

What version of Linux/Unix do you support?

Do you have any related certifications?

How many months/years have you worked as an admin?

What's your schedule like? (example: 5 days a week, 9 to 5, etc..)

thanks
 
UNIX admin,

AIX, RH Enterprise, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD
Certs, nope.. they'll pay for whatever but I don't really have an interest in them, real experience > some lame class
Just started at this position, about a month now

Red Hat (older), Fedora Core 3/4/5, Ubuntu

Do you have any related certifications? Not unless you consider cisco certifications related.

not really any meaningful ones. A few years ago my place of work sent me to a few of those short 3 day classes. Didn't really learn anything new, but I guess it was a good review.

15 months in this position. About a year in my previous position (supporting smaller SCO servers.) I have been playing with linux in the home since 1998 though, so I picked up a lot from my tinkering.

Monday Through Friday, 9am through 5:30pm. 10 week pager rotation cycle. 2 weeks of prime, 2 weeks of backup, 6 weeks no pager. On the backup pager now. Prime and backup carry laptops 24/7 and prime usually gets paged after hours about 5 or 6 times per week or so. If needed we can VPN from anywhere, or came back into the office as the building is open 24/7.
