Hi! Amit, > I have completed my engineering and seriously looking at System > Administration as a career option. Can you tell me about the career > prospects? Its nice to know that we still have engineering graduates among us who think system administration is a challenging field. When I suggest this field to freshers, they usually can't believe that I am sane enough for their further attention. For most of the freshers, learning Java and DotNet are the ultimate goals in computing career. True system administrators will be in demand as long as companies keep using computer systems. It would be interesting to know what the term _True_ means here. System administration, in general, requires following skills: 1. Understanding how hardware works. You don't have to be a wizard in digital electronics. But you need to be familiar with terms like SATA, PATA, Routers, Modems, USB1, USB2 etc. Basic understanding of functionalities of various components in a computer system is a must. 2. Knowing how to program. If one opts for system administration to remain in the IT field, even if he/she lacks programming skills; then it is a bad choice. You can't administrator multiple systems in a smooth way without doing some sort of automation. The tasks like getting a failure notice via SMS, automatic backup of data at odd hours of nights, detection of some intrusion etc. do require programming. Though various tools are already available to carry out these tasks, one can't create a tool generic enough to solve all the problems possible in a setup. So the skills of _glue programming_ is necessary. On Unix/GNU-Linux you need to learn bash, perl or Python etc. For Windows administration, you need to know VB script, perl/Python or power shell for scripting purpose. 3. Knowing various software components used in the system. As a system administrator, one needs to know how to set up various services required in a company. It is necessary to understand how various services are provided. One needs to know how mail sytem works, how DNS and DHCP functions etc. Ability to set up mail servers, file and print servers, Active Directory/LDAP, document repository etc. is a must for a sysadmin. Sometimes one needs to set up additional tools for project management, time tracking, knowledge base management, wikis etc. As a system administrator, one needs to know how to set up and configure these tools. Also required is the skills to fix problems as and when they are detected. Without a proper understanding of underlying components, it would be easy to feel helpless when your users ask you to solve their problems. 4. Knowing how to manage stress. System administration is a stressful job if you are providing service to large number of users. One needs to know when to say _no_ and how to say it. Managing people and their needs is one of the most important part of system administration. The idea is to provide smooth services even when the system and the admin both are under stress. Usually point 1 can be taught to a person. Except point 3, the other ones are generally inherent in people. These things are difficult to teach but may be easy to learn by looking at others' examples. Point 3 requires some good experience. I am yet to see a coaching class where they teach everything required to master point 3. > Also, I am thinking about taking the RHCE exam. I am not able to > spot much training institutes in Mumbai, CMS Computer Institute > and Gates Training being the only ones I have been able to come up with. After observing the computer institutes in Bombay for over a decade; and after teaching in some of them many years back, I can safely say that you can only learn 10 to 20% of required skills in any institute. The best way to learn is to experiment on your own computer system. It is a long and tortuous route. But it is the best one leading you to be a _true_ sysadmin:) Since you are fresh out of the college, no one is going to take you to administer their critical systems. The best bet for you is to join some company as a trainee and learn the secrets of the trade for next two to four years. That experience will be counted to get a fat pay check afterward. People with good sysadmin skills are always in demand. I have seen many who earn more than those so called _real programmers_ of similar experience level. But one thing to remember is that, sometimes programmers can fake it, but not the sysadmin. You do need to know the internals of the systems you manage. Wishing you a challenging and enjoyable career in system administration. Raghu

tata indicom and firefox
by Kenneth Gonsalves 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

hi, you may recall a previous thread on this subject. When I first bought the usb modem I blogged about it here: http://lawgon.livejournal.com/42968.html as you can see, a tata guy read my blog and asked for complaints. He took up the matter and solved my problems. When I had problems with firefox compatibility he again asked for details and I pointed him to our archives. He has now mailed me saying that he has taken up the matter with the tech guys and they now assure him that all defects are rectified and the site is 100% firefox compatible. I dont have any pending bills, so cannot check. Can anyone check and verify this? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS lawgon(a)au-kbc.org http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/

Linux with ASUS P5K64, Intel Q6600(?)...
by km 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Subject: Linux with ASUS P5K64, Intel Q6600(?) Experience in buying a WS running Linux? Any problems worth knowing with mid-high-end hardware? Hi List, I have lately decided to assemble a new rig for my graphics work, and your help / suggestions are sincerely solicited. This is a long mail, so please feel free to skip and read at leisure if you may. The primary concern being that it should play well with Linux. Sadly, the ASUS' site only states Windows OS compatibility; //mentioning ASUS here because the MoBo i have rounded up on is mfd by ASUS (Link [1]). Please share if you have any experience or suggestions with the below mentioned configuration. I am really looking forward to some `good` experiences as I am really anxious to get the rig home :) Any help/suggestions/experiences (with vendors even) will be gratefully appreciated. The config: COMPONENT MAKE/MODEL NO. -------------------------------------------- MOTHERBOARD P5K64 WS PROCESSOR Core 2 Quad Q6600 (All vendors in Vashi have denied availability of Q6700 that, I believe is a better processor!) GPU NVidia GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB (denied availability of all specific makes i mentioned; ZOTAC, XFX, ASUS) :( RAM 2 X 2GB Transcend Modules (I've heard that windoze xp (32 bit) etc do not support more than 3GB of RAM; never confirmed though. But I would be most interested to learn, if there is any such limitation with 32 bit Linux distros too! I would be mostly using 32-bit platform for now) -------------------------------------------- With vendors nearby my place playing a game of chess, I really can't expect any help from them regarding OS compatibility and, for that matter, even honest hardware prices. (Will soon post a blog on my experience with vendors while going for this hardware, which was quite a saga!) So, that gives me another genuine reason to turn to the Linuxers for help. :) <OT> Going a bit OT with my experience here: In fact, the vendors have even denied availability of ASUS P5K64 WS, in which case, I might go for an ASUS P5K WS. (Link [2]) "poore India mein kahin nahi mil raha hai! I have spoken to all major distributors" (sic), as a vendor told me for MoBo, Q6700 as well as the ZOTAC graphic card. Sad! He's denied availability of any MoBo about which I have gathered detailed information, while the hardware `remains available` until I do not know the genuine price (-slot, for the Indian market, as I see it, no consistency at all!) </OT> I believe the other components (HDD, Monitor, etc), should not be a matter of any concern in this regard, however, please share any experiences if you will :) Thank you very much for your precious time reading through the long mail :) [1] http://in.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=534&l4=0&model=1692&modelmen… [2] http://in.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=534&l4=0&model=1691&modelmen… PS: The fact that I have had bad experience with a couple of vendors in Navi Mumbai does not, in any way, mean that I would generalize that there might not be any good vendors in the region; may be, its just that I wasn't lucky enough to find one. TIA Regards, kamal morjal

Tata Indicom CDMA USB Modem not working with GNU/Linux

Hi list, Please enlighten me if you have any experience with using the Tata Indicom USB Modem under the Plug 2 Surf scheme. I have recently taken their subscription and facing problems using it with Kubuntu 7.10 It works fine in windoze, but fails to get any data transfer in Linux. I tried connecting using wvdial and also using KPPP. The following is a copy of what i get at the terminal on running wvdialconf: $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'. Scanning your serial ports for a modem. ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.

I have used wvdial for MTNL Garuda's USB modem on the same installation and it was working fine back then. Also, there was an existent wvdial.conf file with those old settings for MTNL Garuda connection until i executed "wvdialconf" again for the tata indicom USB modem. [* wvdial gave the same problem even with Ubuntu 7.04 installed on the same machine.] While when i tried connecting with KPPP on Kubuntu 7.10, it did succeed in connecting, that is, it showed me that its connected and the USB modem's indicator too indicated a connection. But i still could not surf the net (or ping any websites) Am i missing out something while configuring the connection. Could this be an issue with the DNS? The same modem is working fine for windoze on the same machine. Any help or your experiences in this regard are greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Regards kamal { LINUXERS http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers /}
