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.
