Paul,

You seem to be the perfect type to help new Linux Admins connect what is 
with what was! While I like where Linux is now there's a part of me that 
thinks SAs need more than just "click a few buttons and you have a cloud 
server". I do want to push us into clouds, version control, and a few 
other things, but a hands on experience with hardware is good.

Welcome aboard!
