Re: [PLUG] OT: Job Postings?
|
I USE BOTH Microsoft and Linux. They are not mutually exclusive.
Philosophcally, I tend to lean toward the GNU World View. Practically, I
live in a world dominated by Microsoft and must deal with it. One of the
ways in which I deal with it is to subvert it.
I have never walked into a microsoft shop where I did not manage to leave a
few Linux servers when I walked out.
One of my favorite emails a year and a half after I left one company was in
inquiry as to how to restart bind to load a new configuration since the
linux server had not come down for a year and a half and the current admin
was afraid to reboot. I believe this DNS server is still running, Slakware
w/linux kernal 2.2.34 I believe on a 486.
Another fun thing is putting win32 GNU software on Microsoft Operating
systems. Currently having fun with GnuPG with a WinPT front end. Microsoft
can't buy it out and they can't drive it out of business. AAAArrrghhh
CAAAN NOT Assimalate!!! (can't seem spell it either ;-))
Next comes a Linux based key server for internal use :-)
As I wright this "Just for fun" By Linus Torvalds is sitting on my desk.
Lighten up, Have fun with it.

of OSes, and employers like looking for people with broad, cross-platform
skills (presuming that you're well-qualified in whatever the primary or
dominant platform is, of course).

sure they would be a very small percentage of the overall traffic here.
