      I'm probably one of the few Gentoo Linux specialists in the
      Southeast. :) Right now for will-do-IT-for-food I'm mostly
      shopping around my ability to create Hadoop clusters - not those
      ancient-version Cloudera or Hortonworks deals but from a
      distribution downloaded straight from Apache. Used some bash-fu w/
      PXE and chroot-originated Gentoo instances such that my clusters
      can automatically provision worker nodes. How big you want your
      cluster? <i>How much space/power/cooling you got??</i><br>

            Guys,<br>
            <br>
            I might find myself out of work soon, so I'm thinking of
            what to do next. I <br>
            used to run a consulting business years ago in New Orleans
            and enjoyed it <br>
            quite a bit.What's the perceived climate these days for a
            Linux freelancer on <br>
            the northeast side of town (though I wouldn't completely
            rule out a good did <br>
            in Cobb)?<br>
