I have been a UNIX sysadmin for a long time and transitioned to Linux admin in the last decade or so. I can't say I have been thrilled with it. I've always thought of UNIX as the real thing and of Linux as a cheap aftermarket imitation, mainly cost-driven. But "Real" Unix is very slow and very expensive. That's why HP-UX and Solaris went away for the most part. For a while I had hope for Solaris x86. Even ran it on my personal box for years, exclusively (No Microsoft).
However I have come to see the benefits of it and embraced it. Runs on any hardware. Does not need expensive proprietary hardware from Sun or HP. Support communities. Et cetera.
I am in DC area, if there any other former UNIX admins who moved to Linux sysadmin, let's connect and engage in culinary activities.
