[TriLUG] OT schools

[Stephen P. Schaefer]

In the Microsoft world (and it's a big world) "Network Administration" 
has nothing to do with Cisco, but means you can get Microsoft's idea of 
a server to provide Microsoft's idea of network services.  "System 
Administration" is code for "Unix".  I don't advocate these usages, I've 
just observed them.
