My background is in Systems Administration and Networking.  I spent 8 years as a Unix system administrator, primarily Sun systems.  I was the Systems Manager of all University servers for several years, logging many hours doing system planning and integration.  I have system administration experience in Unix, Windows NT/2000 and Novell.  I have also worked in Networking, including Switched Ethernet and ATM, and have performed tasks in most all OSI layers, from physical (running cables and terminating Cat V and fiber) to supporting server applications.
