10 things I love about UNIX System Administration

• Working from the command line.
• Working remotely using telnet and then ssh.
• The feeling of making things work.
• I still remember setting up sendmail (mail server).
• Creating virtual web domains in Apache.
• Writing scripts that automate tasks.
• Creating scripts for web statistics (long before Google analytics).
• Securing a Linux server (never being hacked).
• Being root is power!
• Sun Solaris (not using it any more).
