if im willing to pay someone more than they make per hour at their normal job - their "im a sys admin" attitude would be - imho - ridiculous. but, im ready to understand if thats the way it is ...

I wouldn't say they have elite status, but any good freelancing sys admin that doesn't live in a 3rd world country bills high double digits per hour for his work. For teaching you are probably looking at $100+/hr. It just doesn't seem like a wise investment to piss away few hundred for someone to teach you how to login and run a few basic commands. If however you already know the basics, then spending few hundred to learn tricks on how to secure your server, improve performance, etc, then it's not too bad of a deal.
