Both ways are possible.
I am a unix sysadmin since 13+ years, employee of a rather big global corporation and responsible for several hundred unix machines in three datacenters.
Being a ms guy will open up opportunities, and unix also.
At some point in your career these worlds will mix anyway, so I would say:
- Give them both a try,
- learn what "feels better" for you
- become good/certified in it
- but keep an open mind for other technologies, too.
My personal preference is unix obviously, as I am a member here.
Imho, unix offers more freedom in what you do and how, so you can create fine tuned solutions.You must always face the curtain with a bow.

A few hundred is not that much, I know that google/amazon/etc OPS guys manage thousands/ten thousands machines per person

I wouldn't rely on books too much as they are usually out of date by the time they're published and it's difficult and cumbersome to sit in front of a computer with a huge tome reading, typing, reading, typing, etc. IMO it breaks the flow and eventually you end up just copying from a book instead of learning anything new.
The best way to learn is to jump in with both feet and start breaking stuff. Then dig the book out and see if it has anything useful or get searching the web for more up to date info.

If it ain't broke, fix it until it breaks. Then you can learn how to fix it. Originally Posted by cynwulf Jay
