This is nothing like a CV. Oh well. Feel free to hire me anyway!

Stuff I know:

• Linux systems administration
• Solaris systems administration
• FreeBSD, AIX, HP-UX and brief exposure to SCO (enough to say hey this sucks and never want to use it again).
• NSA Security Enhanced Linux. IPSec.
• Postfix, Qmail, Sendmail (urgh)
• Apache, Tomcat
• The Netscape/iPlanet stuff (Directory Server, Messaging Server, the web server and other stuff in the Suitespot box).
• Proftpd, Ncftpd, WU-ftpd
• Squid
• BIND/DNS in general
• Radius (Cistron and Livingston), Radiator
• OpenLDAP
• Cisco stuff (I did the Cisco Router Config courses, but I didn't get brainwashed). Also did some Solaris courses.
• general TCP/IP networking stuff
• Shell scripting, sed, awk, Perl, C. PHP if I have to.
• Postgresql, Mysql, some Oracle
• Samba. I also dance a mean Zorba.

My aim is to retire from fulltime work before I hit my mid-30s and spend my spare time working on open source projects. That, and creative writing endeavours.

Prior to fulltime employment, I worked at university computer labs as a helldesk pleb and tech support.

I have been using Unix since the early 90s, and I got started on Linux around 1993. My first exposure to computers was when I was very young (about 11 IIRC) and my first computer was a C64 where I first played the Zork trilogy. My current machine is a Thinkpad 600E running Debian with an SE Linux kernel. I am married to a Linux guru, so I'm surrounded by Linux 24/7. And... loving it!
