Hey all, Looking for a job that involves Linux. What does one look for entry level stuff? Anybody have any openings? Don't see the job posting board. Currently doing IMAC/depot level work at the moment. A little about my experience, I have my Linux+ and security+ cert. Don't have much enterprise related Linux experience but I do run it at home on my desktop, and have setup qemu for pci passthrough to play my games in a windows 10 VM. Run a tor relay, and a bitcoin node with a hidden service. Picked up a rpi and used that to install coreboot on my thinkpad. Current projects I'm working on is setting up a mail server jail with freebsd, setup a ovirt host on a micro dell optiplex, then automate installs with chef, puppet, and ansible. I need to pick up a bash or python book and get some scripting under my belt. I can give my resume upon request.
