Network Administrator Role in Software C

I can't give a complete answer to the first question because it depends on the environment.

As far as the second question, some higher-end servers can be partitioned into virtual machines that support multiple operating systems and there is a product called VMWare that will support multiple operating systems
although I honestly don't know to what extent it will support server applications.

But just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. In particular, it seems to me that having to bring down all three systems every time the NT needs a reboot is not a good business practice.

Hardware is cheap enough that having a server for each OS is a much more realistic scenario than absorbing the personnel cost of trying to make three servers play nicely together in the same sandbox.

1. Depends how you want to use the server (not sure of the question). If you are talking about general administration, I use webmin on all of my Linux servers to make life simpler. Take a peek at www.webmin.com .

2. If you are talking about beingable to just load multiple OS's on the system (and using only one at a time), yes you can. Except for use as a test machine, I am not sure why you would want to. Linux comes with several boot loaders, Lilo being the most common, that supports multi OS. Now if you're talking about trying to use all three at the same time, well I am not sure if that is even possible.

Hope this helps.

hi.
being a n/w admin means that u are good in providing the desired type of connectivity to your internal customers this means that u got be knowing about the protocols that are used in your org. like tcp/ip, netbeui etc and how to work these protocols in the os you are using.
apart from that you should be aware of lan and wan concepts.
for your second part, you can have more than 2 os on one physical sytem.
sun solaris 7 on intel platform too gives you multiple boot options.
i suggest first load unix and partition the hdd according to the 3 partion and load linux on one and later load the other os
and config linux bootloader to show you the options. but i have not tried with 3 os in one system.
hope this helps

The others gave as good an answer as I could but I would like to add the following to answer2..
VM Ware will boot linux and let you load Windows NT or most other windows OS's but not Solaris. You would not have to bring down the whole system to restart NT just restart the virtual machine. It sounds strange but I find NT runs better and needs less rebooting running under vmware & linux than on its own hardware. You can run NT and load vmware to run linux also but I would not recomend that..
