Hi,
Exactly what sort of folks are you looking for? I've been working for
four years+ at an all FreeBSD ISP. I lean more towards routers than *nix
boxes these days, but I'm still the lead "put those parts together" guy,
and I have an uncanny knack for finding showstopping bugs in just about
everything we eval.
As you might guess, I'm a bit lost on what to do with my career at the
moment. My daily tasks are all over the place, perl, mysql, routers,
switches, hardware, purchasing decisions, telco relations... ISP work.
Anyhow, I'm curious what you folks are looking for and what the
telecommuting options are (I'm in NYC, and I like it here).
Thanks,
Charles
