Good point, I was under the assumption there that if you've been a sysadmin for 5 years you've done something besides linux (especially considering it was almost unheard of to have on a server in a business environment 5 years ago compared to today). But yeah, 2 years exp, $60 is rather high, but then 5 years that might actually be low (I know a couple that make over 60 and they are both 4-6 years exp as sysadmins).
