serverfault.com

Lately, I have become a keen follower of the http://serverfault.com/ site. Those who don't what it is, serverfault is part of Stack Exchange Network which is a network of question-and-answer websites. It is incredible to see how many SysAdmins are engaged though it by asking questions and giving answers. Once you a question, you have a good chance of getting a reply fairly quickly if your topic is curious enough. I have asked questions and been given a reply within a day. I myself have given answers to several questions so far. You get voted up or down on your answers based on whether others like yours or not. It is a good way test your knowledge. You can also learn more about a topic. I now find that it is better to read these questions and answers to enhance my knowledge on a certain topic.

One thing to be careful about. Always try to elaborate your answers rather than giving a short and quick answers. Don't just post links. You must make sure that your answer is relevant. If you don't follow these, others will vote you down.
