| Nov 12, 2010 at 18:55 | comment | added | Rob Moir | Interesting point on my point about having a mix of skills - first time I got myself a mac one of the apps froze hard during my first day's use. I didn't know then how to 'force quit' an application the Apple way, so I ended up opening terminal to do find the app's pid and do a kill -9 on it. Something I always remember when people tell me that macs never crash or that it's totally intuitive to use one from the first second you pick it up! I probably use OSX a lot at home because it feels less like 'work' where we have a mix, yes, but its mostly Windows server. | |

For me, I think that having a mix of skills makes you better at your "preferred" one and I'm sure everyone else here would agree with that. I learnt a lot about Windows networking by trying to integrate mac osx clients using samba into the network that I never would have learned about if I'd only ever touched Windows, for example. As for people giving "Windows answers" to *nix questions, are you specifying Unix in your questions? | |
| Nov 12, 2010 at 18:13 | comment | added | Arenstar | I agree with you completely... Im not saying either is better.. i just know what i prefer and what i enjoy.. Point being i wont be answering many questions on Windows specifics, but im constantly having people answer my questions who are clearly Windows admins.. Just seems like a lot more windows is going on here.. :P Its all little back to front :P | |
