I expect a SysAdmin to have broad, well-rounded experience and, more importantly, the ability to adapt to changing needs regardless of whether their stronger background is in Linux or Windows.
- The key is to find someone with solid overall system administration skills, a willingness to learn, and the ability to approach unfamiliar situations independently. I would expect candidates to demonstrate this level of flexibility rather than be limited by a particular OS specialization.
