IMHO the best way to learn an OS is to use it and to solve problems.
Anyone who loves solving problems will naturally do this and will
A good sysadmin should have a good working knowledge of:
- security
- system privileges (and how to use them)
- backups/restores
Don't just follow best practice, figure out why things are done in a
certain way and consider alternatives.
Just a few hints, there is quite a lot to being a sysadmin.

Non-authoritative answer but I would say definitely no. A lot of people
here are involved in commercial Linux support and if such posts were
permissible we'd end up with far too many. Posts on Linux/Unix jobs
available and posts on personal sales of equipment are generally ok on LUG
lists.
One option is to put a short advertisement in your .sig (ie, a couple of
lines). This is acceptable all over the 'net. See below for an example.
