Greetings Regarding a previous comment about people on this list who are not SYSADMINS I freely admit to being one of that ilk. When I joined I fell into that category, however my functions were probably considered to be more of a generalist nature. I was responsible for both novell and Windows servers, various data switches and routers, a variety of system monitoring tools, various lights out devices due to the wide spread geographical nature of the department I worked for and toss in a smattering of desktops pretty much covered it. Then this list was very helpful whenever I had some questions about a system we had in place or one that was over the horizon. Now this list is proving to be valuable to me in a different sense. My role is no longer hands on. I assemble and coordinate the project teams whenever we are moving a department, virtualising servers, renovating a space or anything else that falls under information technologies. Now I am working with a great bunch of people who know quite a bit in their specific field. From time to time when we run into an issue the information I read about on this list has helped me provide an informed opinion or to ask the right questions. And to keep my hands in the dirt, I volunteer for an organisation that works with people who have a vision impairment and there are times when I have questions regarding a router, access point, bit of software etc. I know there are a plethora of resources out there, and I appreciate being part of this list which is a significant contributor to my box of tools to get the answers I need from time to time.
