Aspiring sys admin works his way up in Linux
|
||||
===============================================
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
I first saw Linux in action around 2001 at my first job. I was as an account manager for an Austrian automotive industry supplier and shared an office with our IT guy. He was creating a CD burning station (one of those huge things that can burn and print several CDs simultaneously) so that we could create and send CDs of our car parts catalogue to customers. While the burning station was originally designed for Windows, he just could not get it to work. He eventually gave up on Windows and turned to Linux, and it worked flawlessly.
|
||||
|
||||
For me, it was all kind of arcane. Most of the work was done on the command line, which looked like DOS but was much more powerful (even back then, I recognized this). I had been a Mac user since 1993, and a CLI (command line interface) seemed a bit old fashioned to me at the time.
|
||||
|
||||
It was not until years later—I believe around 2009—that I really discovered Linux for myself. By then, I had moved to the Netherlands and found a job working for a retail supplier. It was a small company (about 20 people) where, aside from my normal job as a key account manager, I had involuntarily become the first line of IT support. Whenever something didn't work, people first came to me before calling the expensive external IT consultant.
|
||||
|
||||
One of my colleagues had fallen for a phishing attack and clicked on an .exe file in an email that appeared to be from DHL. (Yes, it does happen.) His computer got completely taken over and he could not do anything. Even a complete reformat wouldn't help, as the virus kept rearing it's ugly head. I only later learned that it probably had written itself to the MBR (Master Boot Record). By this time, the contract with the external IT consultant had been terminated due to cost savings.
|
||||
|
||||
I turned to Ubuntu to get my colleague to work again. And work it did—like a charm. The computer was humming along again, and I got all the important applications to work like they should. In some ways it wasn't the most elegant solution, I'll admit, yet he (and I) liked the speed and stability of the system.
|
||||
|
||||
However, my colleague was so entrenched in the Windows world that he just couldn't get used to the fact that some things were done differently. He just kept complaining. (Sound familiar?)
|
||||
|
||||
While my colleague couldn't bear that things were done differently, I noticed that this was much less of an issue for me as a Mac user. There were more similarities. I was intrigued. So, I installed a dual boot with Ubuntu on my work laptop and found that I got much more work done in less time and it was much easier to get the machine to do what I wanted. Ever since then I've been regularly using several Linux distros, with Ubuntu and Elementary being my personal favorites.
|
||||
|
||||
At the moment, I am unemployed and hence have a lot of time to educate myself. Because I've always had an interest in IT, I am working to get into Linux systems administration. But is awfully hard to get a chance to show your knowledge nowadays because 95% of what I have learned over the years can't be shown on a paper with a stamp on it. Interviews are the place for me to have a conversation about what I know. So, I signed up for Linux certifications that I hope give me the boost I need.
|
||||
|
||||
I have also been contributing to open source for some time. I started by doing translations (English to German) for the xTuple ERP and have since moved on to doing Mozilla "customer service" on Twitter, filing bug reports, etc. I evangelize for free and open software (with varying degrees of success) and financially support several FOSS advocate organizations (DuckDuckGo, bof.nl, EFF, GIMP, LibreCAD, Wikipedia, and many others) whenever I can. I am also currently working to set up a regional privacy cafe.
|
||||
|
||||
Aside from that, I have started working on my first book. It's supposed to be a lighthearted field manual for normal people about computer privacy and security, which I hope to self-publish by the end of the year. (The book will be licensed under Creative Commons.) As for content, you can expect that I will explain in detail why privacy is important and what is wrong with the whole "I have nothing to hide" mentality. But the biggest part will be instructions how to get rid of pesky ad-trackers, encrypting your hard disk and mail, chat OTR, how to use TOR, etc. While it's a manual first, I aim for a tone that is casual and easy to understand spiced up with stories of personal experiences.
|
||||
|
||||
I still love my Macs and will use them whenever I can afford it (mainly because of the great construction), but Linux is always there in a VM and is used for most of my daily work. Nothing fancy here, though: word processing (LibreOffice and Scribus), working on my website and blog (Wordpress and Jekyll), editing some pictures (Shotwell and Gimp), listening to music (Rhythmbox), and pretty much every other task that comes along.
|
||||
|
||||
Whichever way my job hunt turns out, I know that Linux will always be my go-to system.

高瞻远瞩的系统管理员会在 Linux 上辛勤工作
|
||||
===============================================
|
||||
|
||||
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/images/business/BIZ_workplay.png?itok=uQqFssrf)
|
||||
|
||||
我第一次看到运行着的 Linux 操作系统大约在 2001 年第一份工作时。当时我在澳大利亚的一家汽车产业供应商担任客户经理,和公司的 IT 小伙子共用一间办公室。他做的 CD 刻录站(一个可以同时刻录好几张 CD 的巨大的东西)可以刻录 CD,然后我们可以把 CD 作为汽车零配件送给消费者。刻录站最初是为 Windows 设计的,但是他一直没能让刻录机正常工作。最终他放弃在 Windows 上使用的念头并且换成在 Linux 上使用,刻录机完美工作了。
|
||||
|
||||
对我来说,Linux 的一切都是晦涩难懂的。大部分工作都在看起来像 DOS(译者注:磁盘操作系统) 的命令行下完成,但它更加强大(后来我才认识到这一点)。我从 1993 年就开始使用 Mac 电脑,并且当时命令行界面在我看来有点老套。
|
||||
|
||||
直到几年后——我记得是 2009 年,我才真正的认识 Linux。那时我已经移民荷兰并且在一家零售供应商工作。那是一个只有20人的小公司,我除了做一个关键客户经理的正常工作,还无意间成了个一线 IT 技术支持。只要东西有了故障,他们总是会在花大价钱请外部 IT 顾问之前先来询问我。
|
||||
|
||||
我的一个同事因为点击了一封似乎来自 DHL(译者注:全球著名的邮递和物流集团 Deutsche Post DHL旗下公司) 的电子邮件附带的一个 .exe 文件而受到了一次网络钓鱼攻击。(是的,这的确发生了。)他的电脑完全被控制,他什么事都做不了。甚至完全格式化电脑都不起作用,好像病毒只靠它丑陋的脑袋就能活下来。我在后来才了解到这种情况可能是病毒被复制到了 MBR(主引导记录)里。这时为了节约成本,公司已经终止了和外部 IT 顾问的合同。
|
||||
|
||||
于是我帮助同事安装了 Ubuntu 操作系统让他继续工作,这的确很有效。他的电脑再次嗡嗡的运转了,而且我找到了他们工作必需的所有应用。我承认,从某些方面来说这不是最优雅的解决方案,不过他(包括我)喜欢这个操作系统的流畅度和稳定性。
|
||||
|
||||
然而我的同事在 Windows 世界形成的观念根深蒂固,他无法习惯新的使用方式,开始不停的抱怨。(很耳熟吧?)
|
||||
|
||||
虽然我的同事不能忍受新的使用方式,但我发现到这对我这个 Mac 用户已经不是一个问题。他们之间有很多相似点,我被迷住了。所以我在我工作用的笔记本电脑上又安装了一个 Ubuntu 组成双系统,我的工作效率提高了,让机器做我想做的事也变得更容易。从那时起我有规律的使用了几个 Linux 发行版,但我最喜欢 Ubuntu 和 Elementary。
|
||||
|
||||
当时我失业了,因此我有大量的时间给自己充电。由于我一直对 IT 行业很感兴趣,所以我致力于研究对 Linux 操作系统的管理。但是目前得到一个展示学识的机会太难了,因为我多年来所学的 95% 都不能简单的通过邮寄一份简历展示出来。入职面试对我来说是一个谈论我知道什么的地方,所以我进行了 Linux 认证得到证书,希望能给我一些帮助。
|
||||
|
||||
我对开源做贡献已经有好一阵子了。刚开始时是为 xTuple ERP(译者注:世界领先的开源企业资源计划)做翻译工作(英语译德语),现在已经转为在 Twitter 上做 Mozilla 的”客户服务“,提交 bug 报告等。我为自由、开源软件做推广宣传(取得了不同程度的成功)并且尽我所能在财政方面支持一些 FOSS(译者注:自由及开源软件)倡导组织(DuckDuckGo, bof.nl, EFF, GIMP, LibreCAD, 维基百科以及其他)。目前我也在准备设立一个隐私咖啡区域(译者:这句话应该有更好的翻译方法)。
|
||||
|
||||
除此之外,我已经开始写我的第一本书。这应该是一本涉及计算机隐私和安全领域的简易实用手册,适用于普通计算机用户,我希望它能在今年年底出版。(这本书遵循知识共享许可协议。)至于这本书的内容,正如你预料的那样我会详细解释为什么隐私如此重要,以及“我没有什么需要隐藏“这种思想错的有多么离谱。但是最主要的部分还是指导读者如何避免让人讨厌的广告追踪,加密你的硬盘和邮件,通过 OTR(译者注:一种安全协议,为即时通讯提供加密保护)网上聊天,如何使用 TOR(译者注:第二代洋葱路由,可以在因特网上进行匿名交流)等等。虽然起初说这是一个手册,但我尽量会使用随和的语调来叙述,并且会根据精彩的我亲身经历的故事让它更加通俗易懂。
|
||||
|
||||
我依然爱着我所有的 Mac,只要买得起(主要因为它那伟大的构造),我还会使用它们,但是我的 Linux 一直在虚拟机里完成我的几乎所有的日常工作。没有什么不可思议的,不是自夸:文档编辑(LibreOffice 和 Scribus),建立我的网页和博客(Wordpress 和 Jekyll),编辑图片(Shotwell 和 Gimp),听音乐(Rhythmbox),以及几乎其他任何工作。
|
||||
|
||||
不论我最后怎么找到工作,Linux 永远都是我必用的操作系统。
