“The goal of the AdminChallenge was to promote the profession
of system administrator. The everyday work of system administrators
is mostly not evident, they are recalled only if something
breaks down. The AdminChallenge took place for the first time,
but judging by its results and comments of the participants
we hope that such competitions will be held on an annual basis
and the number of contestants will grow year by year”.
