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!!
Keith
