I guess everyone of us like to know what sysadmin typically do during his free time.
Not what he/she likes as an hobbies.. but what activities does he/she often indulge in other than facing the monitor.
Maybe we can come up this a better stereo-typed for sysadmin.
I read VERITAS, SUN Blueprints, ORACLE Whitepaper when I am bored. Apart from that, I surf/read magazine to find nice food and romantic place for a date with my gf.
i can never seem to find enough time for my hobbies!
for a while i was into nitro rc cars, those are FUN!
i play a few instruments, like the guitar and piano.
also one of my BIGGEST (and most expensive) hobbies is working on my car. im swapping the engine in a few weeks, just waiting for a few more parts to be shipped.
i really want to learn how to surf, but i dont get the time to go do it.
I used to be big-time into the Guitar - just don't find any time for it nowadays.
I'm also trying to spend more time with my family, and not be with the computers 24/7 - although when my daughters asleep I normally start coding into the night - I just can't help being geeky!
I suppose computing is my major hobby as well as a profession - I just enjoy the hell out of it. A good thing I suppose?!? Actually means I enjoy my job, which can't be bad.

Well, i guess being root counts as being a sys. admin. ^_^
Well, I read books on computers, i sleep (and dream of computers) and well... heck, Im rarely away from my computer. So I guess I really don't do anything else.... Jeez, this is sad
I'm to the point where computing pretty much /is/ my only hobby. I used to be into football, but now pretty much all of my time is spent on the screen. To be more specific, I'm learning C, talking on aim/irc, listening to winamp, and experimenting with different Linux distros on a typical day.

Hi,
