Sysadmins are highly paid baby sitters. Just as a baby transforms perfectly
good input into excrement, which it then drops in its diapers, Unix drops
excrement all over its file system and the network in the form of core
dumps from crashing programs, temporary files that aren't, cancerous log
files, and illegitimate network rebroadcasts. But unlike the baby, who may
smear his nuggets around but generally keeps them in his diapers, Unix
plays hide and seek with its waste. Without an experienced sysadmin to
ferret them out, the system slowly runs out of space, starts to stink, gets
uncomfortable, and complains or just dies.
Ce qui est marrant, c'est qu'un certain nombre de reproches faits aux unixes de l'époque (nécessité de l'entretenir régulièrement, faibles uptimes,absence de sécurité, le worm de robert morris, ...) sont justement ceux que l'on fait aujourd'hui à windows :)
