I think that 10 hours per month is a little unrealistic. I help out my brother-in-law who is an ISP and I spend more like 10 hours per week (at least) and I'm not the only one working for him. Especially as there's a lot of stuff I don't know yet and am working out as we go :-) I think that there would be figure somewhere between 10 hours per month and 10 hours per week depending on the specific requirements of the server. Hope this is of some use to you :-) Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au On Wed, 9 Jul 1997, Marco Molteni wrote: > Date: Wed, 9 Jul 1997 15:25:12 +0200 (MET DST) > From: Marco Molteni <molter@logic.it> > To: chat@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: what is a fair wage for a system administrator? > > Howdy all! > > My ISP, which is running 2 NT boxes (Unix knowledge == 0), asked me to > install and run a FreeBSD box, to be used as a "multi-host web server" > (is it english? ;-) > I'll be the system administrator, not the author of the web pages. > > I think I have an adeguate knowledge regarding Unix and tcp/ip > networking to do such a job, altought I have been connected to the > internet only via ppp (I mean I have never run a box connected 24h a day). > > My questions are: > 1. since I've already a part-time work and I'm studying, I don't want to > assign many hours for this new work.
