[ale] OT: How many Linux guys are looking for work in ATL?

[Brian Stanaland]

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.
