Linux and Unix questions? We get them daily.
They come from organisations looking for extra capacity temporarily, and from teams wanting to outsource their entire Linux or Unix environment. That makes sense: these systems demand specialist knowledge, speed and continuity.
At Unix Support Nederland, our engineers don’t treat Linux and Unix as a sideline. They live in them, and have done for years, across sectors from finance to manufacturing and education.
On this page we answer the questions we’re asked most often about our Linux and Unix specialists, how we work with clients, and what you can expect from USN. If your question isn’t here, do get in touch.
System administrator is more of a catch-all term covering all the systems an organisation runs, which might include Windows, networking, Linux and databases.

USN engineers know their way around all kinds of products.
USN serves a wide range of sectors: finance, manufacturing, aviation and education. We’ve delivered major projects for HTM (Haagsche Tramweg Maatschappij) and for a major European player in the aerospace industry.
