One for pedants corner here.

I noticed the use if the verb "administrating" in the article, where to me the 
natural verb is "administering" and I started to wonder where this variant 
came from. I have seen this before in many technical articles and I would 
like to know whether all USians use administrate instead of administer, or 
whether it is specific to the administration of computers?
