System Engineering Interview Question:

Can you explain what was the last piece of software you installed on a server? How did you do it? Had you done it before? Do updates/installs always go this smooth for you?

This should be a gimme question for most candidates. You are just looking for someone who installs things often and can tell you about it. Ideally they have some stories when things haven't worked as well and can share an anecdote about incompatible versions or something else interesting.
