Reclaiming the lost art of Linux server administration | pietrorea's blog

Choice quote: "The truth is that it was possible to build high-traffic web services in the "bad old days", even with a very small team."

Even better though is "Linux admin is a chore, but in return you get the whole computer." which is something I definitely agree with. I think this is a more interesting thing to focus on in the context of personal computing.

Though I'm not sure that administration is a lost art, maybe more that it's just not cool.
