| Jun 18, 2014 at 15:11 | comment | added | Chris Drappier | Doesn't seem to leave much room for novice questions. Also, I whole-heartedly disagree with "Virtual Box VMs [is an area that] professional sysadmins have very little professional experience with" We have several VirtualBox VMs that run in production. | |

| Jan 14, 2013 at 0:40 | comment | added | Hubert Kario | To reiterate what @RichardGadsden said: a real professional will first set up a test environment to check a new technology before unleashing it on production systems, let alone customer-facing ones. Rookie mistake is doing the exact opposite. | |

| Jan 8, 2013 at 15:46 | comment | added | Richard Gadsden | Professionally-managed test or QA systems are not "production" but should be included. I don't think customer-facing is the right definition; if you have a proper lab environment where you're testing a new configuration before pushing it to production, then it belongs here too. | |
| Jan 4, 2013 at 21:01 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @smcg Generally, "customer facing" for the app. For internal apps, customer=end-user. | |
| Jan 4, 2013 at 19:34 | comment | added | smcg | how does one define "production"? would that include the last line of deployment for internal applications? | |

Type fixes, remove 'students' exclusion as it didn't really look right.

| Jan 3, 2013 at 12:19 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @MathiasR.Jessen Yes you can, there are a few places offering one now. Rochester Institute of Technology has one degree program; I had an intern from them last summer. Didn't suck! | |
| Jan 3, 2013 at 8:16 | comment | added | Mathias R. Jessen | You can get a System Administration degree? o_O I always thought of this business more like a craftsmanship through hands-on experience | |
| Jan 3, 2013 at 4:01 | comment | added | TheLQ | "Being built to learn new things" - Wait, SE doesn't want people's questions about the first time they've set up something? That's the reason a lot of people come to this site, because they are in new territory, the manual doesn't say anything, and if they had years and years of experience with the system then they wouldn't have the question | |

Add John Gardner's suggestion.

| Dec 31, 2012 at 16:50 | comment | added | Rob Moir | I like it, but I think it might be worth mentioning that "beginner" sysadmins are welcome (I've seen a bit of pushback suggesting people feel otherwise and we don't want that) as long as they work to the standards outlined above - we're setting a quality bar for questions, not a qualification level for the people asking them, after all. | |
| Dec 31, 2012 at 16:35 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @ChrisS I've seen questions closed due to insufficient professionalism on the part of the questioner, which can only be quantified through question-contents. The "is a professional" item is a smell-test for most of us, so is tricky to write up. | |
| Dec 31, 2012 at 16:32 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | Love the idea, but seems to wander off the "Professional Capacity" topic into Question Topic, and even discusses the Practicality requirement of questions. | |
