Wizards, Sorcerers, Gurus?
Wizards Wizards build their own distributions. They know tremendous lore and use their skill to make the magic of a smooth running box. Sorcerers Sorcerers possess nearly as much lore as a Wizard does. Professionally sorcerers are considered Senior Sys-Admins. They can download, build, and install packages from source. Gurus They know a lot, definitely a competent Sys-Admin, but they rarely deviate from the confines of the binary distribution that they are using.
