Domain specific interest..I don't know what you mean by domain.. I like
debugging and solving issues(C,C++,Scripting, general configuration). I am
not sure whether that could be called a domain! :). Otherwise I like working
in Linux generally. Writing scripts trying out new tools! Working without
windows.
