One of my standard interview questions is to say ok, you start on Monday
and you're placed in charge of a web/db server, tell me what you do your
first week.
What I want to hear is security, backups, log checking, monitoring,
performance, functionality, etc., but most of all I want to know how
they think and if they can come up with a coherent plan.
Another version is "A user says the cluster is slow. What do you do?"

Such a broad topic. I would assume things like DHCP, TFTP, Networking,
PXE and IPMI which come to mind. Troubleshooting tools, configuration
management, version control, monitoring, issue tracking and many other
processes are at play. I would love to hear any interview questions
which could cover this array of topics sanely.
Suggested question: Tell me the best hardware horror story?

Recruitment at DUG wants to call me about Low Level HPC. I have at
least until 6pm.
I am excited but also terrified. My background is C and now
JavaScript, mostly online course work and telnet MUDs.
Any suggestions are very much needed.
What must a "low level HPC" know on day 1???
