What do you think about Linux Administration as a career? It's a good choice? It's very hard?

Wow what a quote from Bill

Are you looking at re-skilling?

Generally known online as OpenMedia, now working for Red Hat APAC as a Technology Evangelist and Portfolio Architect. Still playing with MythTV and digital media on the side.

Given most of the worlds web servers run on linux, demand is huge. Red Hat is a good choice, but Debian and Ubuntu servers dominate the web space in linux.

Support a locally made Linux based Operating System, try Linux Lite.

everything will end up running with a linux background at some stage.

anyway is not a matter of is your choice is good or reliable the big question is: are good enough to deal with linux at that level?

Based on? I personally prefer Debian for a webserver, but find myself supporting more and more RHEL based (be it Centos, RHEL, or something like Amazon Linux AMI's)

The better question to ask yourself is whether you have an aptitude for Linux administration, and are you genuinely interested in it?

If not, it doesn't matter what path is the "good choice" because ultimately you won't be happy.
