They rarely migrate to Server Fault but do when it clearly involves administering many computers in a professional environment. I personally like to move non-SF questions to Unix & Linux if the Question involves any flavor of *nix and doesn't fit in the confines of Server Fault (home, single computer, non-professional, non System Administrator related). Super User is already a dumping ground where Question go to die (or get inane answers; nearly as bad). | |

| Dec 10, 2011 at 19:20 | comment | added | Chris S | +1 There's a lot of overlap. If the question is more geared to your job's responsibilities I'd go Server Fault, otherwise Unix & Linux is commonly just as appropriate. Mods can migrate between either anyway, should you post in the wrong site. | |
