No, LPI isn’t trying to become the next Linux ezine, but we do
want your Linux sysadmin stories, detailing specific incidents, how
you solved them, what you should have done, how proud you are of
something you pulled off, etc.

We would like to know about specific incidents you have had
while doing your job as a Linux system administrator. If it was a
problem incident, we would like to know what happened, in what type
of environment, what you tried to do to fix it, what fixed it, what
you learned from the incident, and what you’d have done differently
if you had it all to do over again.

If you had a crisis situation where you saved the day with your
miraculous sysadmin skills, we want to know what happened, what you
did, and what you learned from that too!

When sending in your stories, please include this information at
the top of your story, and submit to stories@lpi.org:

      
      Level of Sysadmin (Jr Admin, Sr Admin, Manager, etc)
      Topic of incident (sendmail, DNS, network, etc)    

The purpose of this project is to better document the day to day
life of a Linux sysadmin. These incidents will be used to help
establish true environment documentation for Linux certification
development.

We look forward to hearing your story!
