Unix System Programmer Vs. Unix System Administrator
Hi friends,
I hope you are all fine and doing well. First of all, let me say that I love Unix with passion. But I have one query in my mind that is bothering me. What should I do, Unix System Administration or Unix System Programmering. Could you please tell me the difference between the two. And can a person be both a unix system programmer and a unix system administrator at the same time, can both of these jobs be done simultaneolsy, or they are totally different and one can only be specialist in one of them only?. And I love large unix systems, like Sparc and Ibm power etc, I hope one day I would be able to work on them. One thing that I am damn sure about is that I don't really want to do application programming, i.e. building applications or websites etc for clients, I hate that. But I love C and c++ languages, and unix shell languages. Could you please help me decide what I wanna do in future. I will really appreciate your wonderful ideas.
Looking forward to your replies.
Thanks in advance.
