I would love to find one of these $90K/yr jobs. I've been a Linux admin since 1998 when my commander handed me a bag of tapes and said install this on that and pointed to a sparc 5 pizza box. The only time I've gotten $90K was the two years I spent NOT doing Linux admin work.<br>

<br>
Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you<br>
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his<br>
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.<br>
- Speech 11/23/1900 Mark Twain<br>
