| Jul 28, 2010 at 1:13 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @Thomas, the trick to making a site like SF useful to people in your situation is to phrase questions in a manner that doesn't expose the fact that you're not a professional admin. Word the question to at least imply it's about your business network and people will answer and treat it accordingly. Make it obvious that it's a home network and you can expect to to get migrated. | |

If the poster can't determine where that line is, it's ok - that's why they implemented cross-site migration in the first place. | |

| Jul 26, 2010 at 13:53 | comment | added | ChrisF | @Thomas - Server Fault is for "people who manage or maintain computers in a professional capacity" (my italics). If you have a question about administering your home system it should go on Server Fault. There shouldn't be anything stopping you posting answers here, but questions should be from people doing systems administration as their job. | |
| Jul 26, 2010 at 4:37 | comment | added | Warner | Running MySQL on a Windows 7 workstation is not a system administration task, Thomas. | |
| Jul 26, 2010 at 1:32 | comment | added | Thomas Owens | And by system administrator, I do hope you mean people who perform system administration tasks outside of work. I'm not trained or educated as a system administrator, but I run my own development servers and network for personal development and I feel I should be able to leverage and learn from this community of people. I'll never be any more than an novice or an intermediate in this field, but that doesn't mean I can't ask good questions and learn from people who are advanced or experts. | |
