Wow this was so far over my head that I'm totally going to have revisit it once I have a little more knowledge under my belt. It was extremely well-written, however, and focused rather on decision making and prioritization of tasks as a system administrator, rather than concentrating on UNIX.
Will definitely come back to it next year.
