More complete and comprehensive practice of system administration involves a
/network/ of computers. Rarely, if ever at all, will a system administrator
handle a bunch of independent machines that are operated in isolation.
A network installation of a Linux distribution is something that gets
learned with experience (I have no such experience). With some fundamental
yet advanced knowledge of Linux you may gain a stepping stone to a job
where someone will gladly demonstrate and train you (or your friend) to
work in a networked environment.
The ability to mount devices is an important one , but nonetheless, as Linux
on the desktop advances, there are further simplifications like hotplugging
and extensive libraries of drivers available as on-line updates or
incorporated into the Linux installation.
Hope it helps,
Roy
