I periodically post some on http://danielle-white.info/blog/ but that's 
a catch-all personal blog; I'll be moving the tech-related bits (which 
include some on mentoring) to http://danielle.guru in the near (ish) future.

Additionally, I want to second Cristóbal. Most of my work is on Linux, 
typically RHEL 5 or 6, with some Windows (clients on a terminal server) 
plus occasional work on Solaris and, rarely, AIX. The "read the source" 
answer, while appealing to me on certain levels, simply won't fit my 
employer's business model. They are paying me to be able to effectively 
install, administer, troubleshoot, etc., their software for our hosted 
customers, along with some other products from third parties, e.g. I 
have a Cloudera Hadoop install coming up, and the FOSS pieces are often 
incidental. The work I do with FOSS tools is important but, ultimately, 
incidental to my real work, such as when I recently wrote a script to 
automate standard adjustments to memory settings of Java web containers 
as part of our post-install (shell script with sed commands, most of 
which I knew already but a couple bits I had to look up.) The key is 
being able to get answers fast. With the mentorship angle, it's also 
about being able to help my junior admins likewise find those answers.

Regards,
Danielle
