System Administration
I was System Administrator for 100+ SGI and Sun machines for Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) during the time that we created the revolutionary effects for the movies Jurassic Park and Schindler's List, among others. I have been doing system administration at most of the jobs I've had for the last 20 years.
I have worked most with Debian and IRIX. I have also worked with CENTOS, Redhat, Fedora, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Windows and Mac operating systems.
