[Beowulf] Beowulf SysAdmin Job Description

[Steve Herborn]

I've been doing that since the day I joined the Forum.  I'm not a real big
re-inventor of the wheel, more of a standards based guy.  I'm more then
happy to try something new and if it works better then they way I've been
doing it, into the toolset it goes.  If not its on to the next item on the
list.

More then likely I'll take the chart Tom Pierce posted and turn it into the
verbiage my organization likes to use.  Personally I think it is pretty damn
good the way it is and a rather unique way at looking at a position.  All it
was missing was make the new pot of coffee and make fun of users behind
their backs. :)

One possible trick: check these archives to see if they post here. If so ,
read their posts.
