If you are not getting everything you need from posting to
|
|
<systemitem role="newsgroup">comp.os.linux.*</systemitem> groups and reading documentation, maybe it's time to
|
|
consider joining SAGE, the System Administrators Guild, sponsored by
|
|
USENIX. The main goal of SAGE is to advance system administration as
|
|
a profession. SAGE brings together system and network administrators
|
|
to foster professional and technical development, share problems and
|
|
solutions, and communicate with users, management, and vendors on
|
|
system administration topics.
