I’m getting into Linux system administration after having used Linux for several years. I don’t have experience in professional environment with Linux to do certain tasks as my personal needs haven’t called for it but while I’m learning, is there any advice as to what I should study? Book to read? Maybe some practice projects that I could expect to do in a job that I could get the hang of at home? I’m switching my career from HVAC/R to this. I’ve seen job postings from quite a few companies asking for knowledge to create software for development tools for their engineers. Is that a normal thing to do as a Linux system administrator? It sounds like they are trying to get a mixed bag of a sys admin and a programmer for cheap.
