<story><title>Show HN: Sysadmin Casts – simple bite-sized sysadmin screencasts</title><url>http://sysadmincasts.com</url></story><parent_chain><item><author>WestCoastJustin</author><text>Here&amp;#x27;s a site I&amp;#x27;ve been working on for over a year now. Actually posted to HN asking for feedback on the idea [1]. So far, it&amp;#x27;s been a slow road, no over night success or anything, slowly building the site and releasing new episodes as I have time.&lt;p&gt;Personally, it has been a major growing experience, and showed me the power of the internet. People from all over the world are emailing me out of the blue (and it&amp;#x27;s not spam!). Almost jaw dropping to think about it. If you have an idea, work on it, release it, refine it, and see where it goes. I had always just sat on my ideas.&lt;p&gt;Happy to answer any questions, comments, or concerns.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5828603&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=5828603&lt;/a&gt;</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>peterwwillis</author><text>Comment: There are thousands of guides, HOWTOs, forums, mailing lists, etc out there to teach you how to set up basic tools in Linux. To me this doesn&amp;#x27;t constitute being a sysadmin and is only a small part of the job.&lt;p&gt;It would be really neat if you interviewed a bunch of sysadmins with long resumes, maybe people who give talks at LISA, NANOG, etc. People from different industries probably have vastly different work environments. Ask them if they have any noteworthy experiences, lessons learned, or tips that work towards developing the career versus just Linux-literacy. There&amp;#x27;s a lot of knowledge out there that isn&amp;#x27;t written down anywhere.</text></comment>

It looks things are pretty sporadic as is. Personally, I wouldn&amp;#x27;t mind a weekly digest type email that contains perhaps a blurb on an great book, a short list of select links and a preview of an upcoming cast.&lt;p&gt;Keep it up.</text></comment>
