I am not sure if there is a single answer to your question. But I got a BS degree in computer science and taught myself about linux. So I am a linux systems administrator. I know only slightly more about Windows than a typical power user. I think it's questionable whether it's better to concentrate on Windows or linux. I believe there are way, way more Windows systems administrators than linux systems administrators. But there is also a lot more competition for those jobs. The one advantage to linux is that it's designed to be administered remotely via a text console. There are very few things that cannot be configured at the command line or via text files. That's a huge advantage for a blind systems administrator. On the other hand, the screen readers are better for Windows. I don't think there exists a commercial screen reader for linux. Jaws and Window-eyes are very expensive but they are also very good. There is a rock solid screen reader for the linux command line called speakup. But it works only in text mode. For the graphical user interface, there is a screen reader called orca with is really getting to ve excellent. But it's not as good as jaws. Not yet. What I do is use Windows as my desktop to admin linux machines. ----- Original Message ----- From: "philip" <philip_maher2005@yahoo.co.uk> To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 3:25 PM Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] what is system administrator need
