Thanks Stephen, I've seen that definition. Some add the ability to troubleshoot the entire stack. But what does that mean? Does that mean the hosting subset of a system administrator's skills? I assume networking is not part of that definition. I've used wget to fetch files and I have used tar to make backups - are those skills of a full-sack dev or are they extra? I've been searching for a reasonable definition for a while. Thanks!!
